automating xenu link sleuth
Hi, I'd like to run Xenu Link Sleuth from Scheduled Tasks. I was thinking of executing a .bat file passing in my url list file and depth, I just don't know if that is possible with Xenu. I found a user group that puts out a user's Xenu manual, but I didn't come across any command line launches. Please help! Thank you.

The below is the autiit commands that I use to run xenu via a command line.
The first parameter is the URL that is to be checked.
depends on the mouse option "automatically move pointer to default button in a dialog box"
moving mouse while command is running may confuse the command.
Works for me, your mileage may vary

$url= doXenu($CmdLine[1])
func doXenu($url)
; depends on the mouse option "automatically move pointer to default button in a dialog box"
; moving mouse while command is running may confuse the command.
Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Xenu\xenu.exe")
WinWaitActive ("Xenu's Link Sleuth")
;msgbox ($MB_OK, "title here", "find the app")
Send ("^n")
Send ($url)
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{TAB}")
MouseClick ($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT ) ; click okay to run the process
; wait for the "create report window
Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) ; exact match
WinWaitActive ("Xenu")
MouseClick ($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT ) ; click yes
;Wait for the browser window
