title: Calling a web service from a script or batch file
body: <p>We have a financial product that has built in scheduling capabilities to run over night batches. This product can also use web services to kick off each batch as required. </p>
  
  <p>I want to know if it is possible to call the web services from a .bat file or another type of batch/script file. If this is possible then we can call the batch file from the companies scheduling service (Autosys).</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to write a exe to call this if possible (circumstances outside my control).</p>
  
  <p>KISS approach :)</p>
