I'm a bit of a newbie to Unattended, but by *ghod* I've been hanging out for a tool like this for ages.
I tend to subscribe to the philosophies espoused at http://www.infrastructures.org/ (which, incidentally, led me to unattended in the first place). I want to be able to run something periodically, or at least on startup before user login, to maintain the machine at peak condition. Now, todo.pl would appear to do that for me, but it doesn't really because it needs autologin, and I want this to happen while users are logging in, if not before, and without handing the peons an Admin console. This led me to Scheduled Tasks and how it can trigger something to run at startup. Woopee! says I. Just copy a .JOB file in c:\winnt\tasks (on Win2K at least) and I'm done. At least, I hope so. My questions to this august forum are: 1) Has anyone else looked at this, tried it, and found it good/bad/otherwise? 2) Is there any particular reason why todo.pl uses Autologin rather than a startup task to do it's job? - Matt ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
