Automatilcy open and close sites

chopperman · 07-13-2005, 01:28 PM

Hey I dont know If Im in the right topic but what the heck.
I want to know if there is a program or something that would be able to open a website, keep it open for a little bit and then close it. And it would have to do it for multiple websites and almost the same time. Is that possible. Also is there a way for the comptuer to shut down after a certain amount of time. Like a sleep timer that is on a tv. Any advice would be good guys. thanks

Just start a normal process (the process being internet explorer) with the arguments being the website. Then kill the process after however much time you want.

I dont know what you mean by language. I am TOTALLY new ALL of this

heh, sorry.
I was talking about programming language. Here's what I suggest you do if you're interested in making a program that does what you said.
Learn C#.NET (it's a programming langaueg), then search google and msdn for three things
1. How to Create/Start Processes
2. How to Kill/Close Processes
3. The ProcessInfo and Process Class
Granted, it may be hard to wrap your head around since you're new to it, but if you're serious about learning you'll get the hang of it.
