well temporarily this is what I have had to do. Create a batch file on the windows machine called fookme.bat. Inside that batch file I put ftp -s:fookme.conf. In the fookme.conf I put the following:
open <machinename> <port>
<username>
<password>
literal site config rehash
bye
I then scheduled this batch file to run every five minutes. Seems to be working so far. Are there any negatives to doing it this way? This is the only way I can figure to do this since Service_Update does not work.
