automated job triggering and cron job execution in php
<p>I am currently developing a notification system which gets data from a BUG tracking system and checks if a specific BUG was attended or not within a threshold time , say 2 weeks. If its more than 2 weeks , an automated email should be sent to 2 persons(person who created the BUG and person from the QA team). </p>

<p>I am running apache, php, curl on win server 2003. I am currently thinking about running a php script every night, which monitors all the BUG reports to check if any of them crossed the threshold time , and send an email if necessary. i am currently relying on windows task scheduler to automate email delivery- running a batch file with a curl -xxxx command  in it. </p>

<p>Is there a better way to implement this Job monitoring script? Any advise will  be really helpful and appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks
Rajesh</p>
