I would like to click on a test like this (the "start testing" button) every hour so I can get a hourly result (results are saved on the server side). Basically what happens is that I connect with a server to them and they send me a java applet (GlasnostReplayer.jar) that runs in my browser. If I do have the jar file and run java -jar GlasnostReplayer.jar, I get Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from ... .jar. (Besides, I think I need the connection to the server before I run the applet, and not just run the applet on my side). How can I achieve such a task? Thanks in advance!

PHP CURL will help you to deal with links.

Hmm, I see now that I need to write something with php/curl then use crontab to run that hourly. That's one big step in the right direction. I'm new to curl and php, I don't know where to start. Can you give me a guide? further details for what I'm trying to accomplish? and curl would let me actually run the test after the click? thanks! – user76087 Apr 6 '11 at 3:03
Would this be right? curl -d "measure=yes&repeat=3&duration=20&down=yes&up=yes&port=0&port2=0&protocol1=BitTo‌​rrent" http://loki09.mpi-sws.mpg.de/bb//glasnost.phpBut, I don't think this works, the test wasn't initiated. ` – user76087 Apr 6 '11 at 5:35
