Is there any program that will visit a list of sites for me then close it?

Question

I just need a program to view all of my friends sites to get their counters up to make them happy. Too many friends, it takes me too long, so it'd be cool if I could just get a program like I open it before I go to sleep and it visits all the sites I input into a list. And I need the program to close them after visiting them so my computer doesn't crash from all of the sites being up.

Answer 1

In Windows, use the Task Scheduler - create a new task and select the executable for your web browser, then append the address on the end of the executable path as an argument:

C:\examplepath\iexplore.exe "www.yourfriendspage.com"

Edit the task settings to kill the task after n amount of time (the minimum might be one minute).

Repeat for each website.
