Queueing Sites: Scheduling and AutoUpdate Queueing is a very powerful feature for automating the operation of WebStripper. Scheduling a site will download or update it at a particular time. Using AutoUpdate WebStripper will visit a site at regular intervals to download the latest updates. You can set as many sites to be downloaded at one time as you like. WebStripper will allocate it's downloading threads to whichever site needs them. To set a site as Queued go into the Site Wizard (New Site or Site Properties window) for a site, check the Advanced check box and change the settings on the Schedule or Update pages. Once you have set the options you can shut down WebStripper and it will automatically start up at the scheduled date and time, perform the download and, if you've told it to, close down afterwards. There is no need to leave WebStripper running (check the options below for more information). You can see which queued operations WebStripper has performed from the AutoLog page of the download status window. If the window isn't currently being shown use the menu item Downloads, Download Status Window. To see which sites are queued for download see the menu item Download, View queued sites. Options The Options window (menu item Options, Options, Queued sites) contains options for Queued sites. If Start WebStripper automatically if tasks are due is set then there is no need to leave WebStripper running - it will automatically start up when a task is due. If you are using a dial up connection there is an option to connect automatically or to ask first. Set it to connect automatically if you want WebStripper to download sites during the night or early in the morning. If you're using a dial up connection it's best to set all your sites to be downloaded at the same time. The next set of options set various timeouts. We recommend that you leave one or more timeout switched on just in case a site causes WebStripper problems. Finally there are options for what you want WebStripper to do once it has finished downloading. If you set WebStripper to close the internet connection it will do this as soon as the sites have finished downloading (and before the sites have finished being parsed.)
