Exercise 11
Using Linkbot's Scheduler
Linkbot provides a very powerful, yet simple set of
options for automating site maintenance. This exercise explains how to program Linkbot to
turn itself on and check your site a regular intervals.
To Configure Linkbots Scheduling Options:
1. Select Schedule Runs from the Tools menu.

2. Enter a URL in the starting URL field and press the
Add button. The starting URL is the URL of the site you want to check. If you enter more
than one starting URL, Linkbot will check the first site then check the second, etc.
3. For each site you enter in the Starting URL field, you also need to enter a Site Report
file name. This is the HTML file that Linkbot will create when the run has completed.
4. Select the Run Schedule Tab. Here you can specify the time and frequency of your
scheduled runs.

5. Select a frequency from the options. You can tell
Linkbot to run just once or a regular intervals: hourly, daily or weekly.
6. Enter the time you want Linkbot to turn itself on in the Time to Start Run field.
