cron-jobs under WinNT???

[Frank Eikel]

Is it possible to set cron-jobs under WinNT as you can do under UNIX? I want to launch a specific program when nobody is logged on the machine.

Cheers Frank!

You can use the 'AT' command from the command prompt...

First start the scheduler service.

Then type 'at /?' at the command prompt. It will show you how to enter a command in the schedule. You can schedule task repetitively or once.

There is a utility in the resource kit called WinAT (aka Command Scheduler). It allows you to enter commands more 'graphically'.

Cheers!

In IE4 you can run scheduled tasks on NT. The task scheduler is located under the administrative tools after IE4.0 is installed.
