Cumulus allows you to specify a command (with optional parameters) that will be actioned just after daily rollover. The command is entered in the ''External programs'' frame at the bottom left of the Internet Settings screen. The box is labelled '''Daily'''. Click the Cumulus ''Help'' button for guidance. This could be used to upload the pages with the longer term extremes as your monthly, annual and all-time extremes may only change a few times a month or even less frequently and so reduce the upload burden at the standard uploading frequency. To achieve this you would call your own [http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FTP_tools file transfer tool] for those pages, unselect '''Include Standard Files''' on the files tab of Internet settings, and list the templates on that tab, selecting '''Process?''' for all of them, but only selecting '''FTP?''' for the other pages that are still to be uploaded at the standard interval. | Cumulus allows you to specify a command (with optional parameters) that will be actioned just after daily rollover.

It can also be used for the optional files mentioned in the previous answer. For example if you host your own server using 'XAMPP', you could type 'c:\cumulus\daily.cmd' in the box labelled ''Daily''. Then, in the default Cumulus folder, add a file 'daily.cmd' that contains 'copy c:\cumulus\data\dayfile.txt C:\xampp\htdocs\weather\daj\' to enable you to use the [http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/AnnualDataSummary Daily Summary] tool.
