Schedule and Automate Website Analyzer Tool with Command Line

You can use a command line interface to automate all the major website analyzer tools in the program.

This means that you can also use external applications and bat / batch / script files.

This enables you to run our website analyzer software at regular intervals using e.g. Windows Task Scheduler.

• Parameters:
  • ":%project-path%" : Where %project-path% should contain the path to the project. (Remember the colon before project path.)
  • "@override_rootpath=http://example.com@" : Overwrite website rootpath.
  • "-exit" : Exits when done.
  • "-hide" : Always invisible and exits when done.
  • "-scan" : Runs website scanner.
  • "-stop0000" : Stops scan after a number of seconds, e.g. -stop600 stops scan after 10 minutes.
  • "-save" : Saves project.
  • "-exportsitemapcsv" : Exports all URLs data listed in "sitemap" tree view into a file called "sitemap.csv" located in project directory.
  • "-exportexternalcsv" : Exports all URLs data listed in "external" tree view into a file called "external.csv" located in project directory.
• Examples:
  • [ "c:\microsys\website\Analyze.exe" -exit -scan -build -save ":c:\microsys\website\analyze\my-project.ini" ].
  • [ "Analyze.exe" -exit -scan -build -save ":my-project.ini" ]. (Good for testing when placing all files in the same directory.)
• Tips:
  • To prevent a parameter value that contains spaces (e.g. if you are passing a directory path) from being broken up, enclose it inside a couple of "".

• Create a batch file, e.g. "batch-file.bat", using any standard text editor
• Example of what to write underlined: [ "c:\microsys\website\Analyze.exe" -exit -scan -build -save ":c:\microsys\website\analyze\my-project.ini" ].
• Save your batch file. You can now call it yourself or from other programs and scripts.

• Open Control Panel | Scheduled Tasks | Add Scheduled Task. Follow the guide.
• Open the generated website analyzer time scheduled item to edit details, e.g. command line paramaters.
