Hi,

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("[CMD FileName]");

Process p = new Process();

p.StartInfo = psi;

p.Start();

1. Create a scheduled task which simply executes a batch file, say c:\mybatch.bat. You can disable this scheduled task because you don't really want it to run on a schedule, but rather when you tell it to.

2. Create a new file which contains the path and filename of the batch file you really want to execute, and save this new file as c:\mybatch.bat (such that when the scheduled task is run, it will execute this new batch file).

3. In your web app code, create a new process which will simply run the schedule task, as follows: myprocess.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "schtasks /run /TN \"task-name\"");
