'pushing' a browser button

[Cyberman]

I need to 'click' a button on an intranet website (see INTRA net), every minute. So.. how can one fake a button click from a browser programatically? Also this intranet site needs a login, is it possible to handle the login proceedure programatically as well?

It depends. If pushing that button posts something, then that can be done easily. The login can be done programatically, because that most likely involves a cookie and a post.

You could do it with a php/perl script, or a c++ (or insert other lang) prog as well. WinAPI provides a basic internet interface that should be sufficient.
