Hi all

Please forgive my way-off-topic post, but you guys (and/or gals) would
probably know this one...

I am scheduling a command in Windows 2000 professional via a batch file
using the following format:

at 00:19:00 /next:1 "c:\scripts\example.cmd"

The scheduled item appears in the list of tasks when I type "at". If I set
the system's date and time to 10 minutes before that scheduled time, reboot
to be sure to be sure, wait 9 minutes, the scheduled item never gets
executed, and the scheduled item stays in the list when I type "at" again
(it never runs example.cmd).

I have seen this before on a Windows system, but have never figured out why
it happens. "Task Scheduler" service is set to Automatic, and is Started.

I don't want to install custom scheduling software if possible as this
script is going out to around 300 computers.

Please, help if you know the answer to this. Thanks.

- Peter Harrison
