RE: Windohs - monthly at job

[Branimir Petrovic]

Title: Message

Jerry, to schedule "something" on local or remote Win2K computer:

 

Simple (preferred), non-GUI way:

================================

 

- Make sure "Task Scheduler" service is running on the target system,

 

- Open MSDOS "box" then:

 

C:>at \\%ComputerName% 23:00 /every:1  C:\myJob.bat

C:>at \\%ComputerName% 23:00 /every:15 C:\myJob.bat

 

To see what's been scheduled:

 

C:\>at
Status ID   Day                     Time          Command Line
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        1   Each 1                  11:00 PM      C:\myJob.bat
        2   Each 15                 11:00 PM      C:\myJob.bat

 

Do not specify \\%ComputerName% - and the job is scheduled locally.

The above is also visible from GUI Task Scheduler.

 

 

Other way (to do the same):

==========================

By leveraging WMI (hideously complex & ugly COM object hierarchy) that Win2K

comes equipped with and by using "scripting for 21st century" the VB Script.

 

For how to it (use M$ scripting) do - see the TechNet Script Centerr

Now, let's talk abt. virtual pint... ;-)

Subject: Windohs - monthly at job

Hi all,

 

Does anybody know the syntax to schedule a monthly "at" job on Windows (2000)? I need to schedule a job for the 1st and 15th every month, and would like to avoid the Task Scheduler GUI.

 

A virtual pint o' Guiness (mmmmmm...) for anybody who can help!

 

Thanks!
