I would like to run a scheduled bat file every day on Win7 machines. The file needs to launch IE interactively and crawl a list of web pages to generate web traffic. I could achieve this with wget and it will generate the traffic, but I need IE to run interactively so it launches and generates the traffic through an IE plugin that tracks urls visited. The interactive

Need to run interactively when user is logged and or when not logged on Every Day at 5am repeat for 12 hours Problem is that IE wont launch.

bat file looks like this

start /d iexplore.exe http://www.google.com

ping 1.1.1.1 -w 5000 >NUL

start /d iexplore.exe http://www.yahoo.com

taskkill /im iexplore.exe

  • The IP `1.1.1.1` is now taken by CloudFlare, so this will not wait for 5s but return in some ms. – hdev Mar 22 '19 at 07:33
