I need to set a scheduling task (Windows Hosting). I configured like below
Path to executable file = C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.exe
Arguments = C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\accompalive\Scheduler.php
Accompalive is the root folder name and aspiresoftwareconsultancy is the domain name. I tried with example.com also as domine name but schedular is not running. I set each 2 minutes every hour, day, week, month, year as timing. I also set one notification email address. But I am getting email with an error file having message "Could not open input file: C:\Inetpub\vhosts\aspiresoftwareconsultancy.tld\httpdocs\accompalive\Scheduler.php". Did I set it correctly or need some changes? thank you.
This is almost a year now.
But As there is no answer to this question, Here is what I've found:
If the script can be executed with an interpreter (e.g., PHP or Perl) and does not require parameters defined in an HTTP request, create a new scheduled task that calls the script interpreter with the path to the script as an option
You can do it like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\php\bin\php.exe <path to your php script> <input file>output file 2>&1

Hope it helps :).
I used your code and it is working for me.
Path to executable file = C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP4\php.exe
Arguments = C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\accompalive\Scheduler.php
If you have validation on scheduler.php or wrong code then it can not work.
When I send some data using get method (like Arguments = C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\accompalive\Scheduler.php?id=12) then I also got text file(utility output) in email where they said that "Could not open input file".
