Actually we call a batch-file from our scheduled task. In that batch-file we
call an instance of the browser calling the https url of the php file. The
problem with that is that sometimes instances of IE are not closed after
script execution. This makes us need to check that all the time because many
open IE's windows can end up in a severe reduction of server-performance.
