HI there

I would like to open a specific URL at 5 different times of the day, everyday for the whole year using windows powershell. These times would change everyday by a minute or so and therefore i would have all the times for each day of the year specified in a Excel spreadsheet.

The URL should open in IE and should be open for about time minutes and then close.

I have the code to open the url but how would i get it to open on the exact time based on the time in my excel spreadsheet.

Heres the code to open the URL:

$IE=new-object -com internetexplorer.application
$IE.navigate2("http://www.vocfm.ndstream.net/wmplayer.htm")
$IE.visible=$true


In the spreadsheet i have 365 rows from 1 jan to 31 dec with columns date, time1, time2, time3, time4, time5.



IF i could use something like 

If Get-Date = 1 jan

then go to times.xlsx where row = 1 jan and check if time1 = current time and then run the URL .ps1 mentioned above.

Thanks in advance for any help.
