marc marc Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-23 Posts: 10	the problem with the at command is that you can apparently schedule command only by date: For example: To back up the hard drive of the Marketing server to a tape drive at midnight every five days, create a batch program (Archive.cmd) containing the backup commands. Then schedule the batch program to run by typing: at \\marketing 00:00 /every:5,10,15,20,25,30 archive I don't know how to schedule command every 15 minutes

Co Co MM club member Registered: 2000-11-20 Posts: 1342 Loc: NL	At www.download.com I have found in the past a freeware scheduler which can do that (I don't know the name of the tool) but you can use a batchfile like this: at \\server1 04:00 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server2\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 04:15 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server3\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 03:30 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server4\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 03:45 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server5\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 03:00 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server6\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 03:15 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server7\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 02:30 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server8\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% at \\server1 02:45 c:\admintools\scopy d:\applic\office2000 \\server9\applic\office2000 /o /a /s >> %output% Co _________________________ Co

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	What's wrong with using Task Scheduler. It's already built into Win2K. I use it on several servers to run scripts four times a day. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

And you can schedule a task in such a way that it repeats itself every 15 minutes by setting an appropriate start date/time and then setting the task to repeat for example every 15 minutes. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

kholm kholm Korg Regular Registered: 2000-06-19 Posts: 714 Loc: Randers, Denmark	Just a note for installing the task scheduler. MicroSoft claims, that if you install IE5 or greater on a 9x/NT computer, the task scheduler is automaticallay installed, or you can use Add/Remove from the controlpanel to add this option for IE. This is NOT true!! You have to make a typical instalation of the Iexplorer, then the task scheduler is always added. I have tried this with versions 5.xx through 6.0 and found out that to include the task scheduler, the only way to do this was to make a typical installation. I hope this helps someone. I have spent a lot of time to get the scheduler installed on all my NT servers. (to be abble to use Jens's ScheduleTask() UDF) -Erik

The 'Task Scheduler' is part of the 'Offline Browsing Pack', therefore if you install the 'Offline Browsing Pack' you also get the 'Task Scheduler'. See also Task Scheduler Service on Windows NT _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Erik, You are right and you are wrong.. Let me explain.. Back in the days of IE4, you had the options to install Task Scheduler and Active Desktop, but if you did not install these at the time of IE4 and you did upgrades to IE5/6 you would be missing them. I did do some hacking about two years ago and figured out how to install the Task Scheduler from the IE installation without having to reinstall - You need the following files: quote: mstask.chm mstask.dll mstask.exe mstask.hlp mstask.inf mstask.ini mstinit.exe schedule.reg schedule.reg is: code: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule] "Type"=dword:00000120 "Start"=dword:00000002 "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"=hex(2):25,53,79,73,74,65,6d,52,6f,6f,74,25,5c,73,79,73,74,65,6d,33,\ 32,5c,4d,53,54,61,73,6b,2e,65,78,65,00 "ObjectName"="LocalSystem" "DisplayName"="Task Scheduler" "DependOnService"=hex(7):52,70,63,53,73,00,00 "DependOnGroup"=hex(7):00 "Group"="" "NextAtJobId"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule\Enum] "0"="Root\\LEGACY_SCHEDULE\\0000" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001 To implement this, you need to do the following: quote: Task Scheduler Installation process.. Right-Click on the MSTASK.INF file. Choose Install. Double-Click on the SCHEDULE.REG and merge with the Registry. Reboot the system. We have done this process with a number of servers with great success. DISCLAIMER: You will need to get these files from the appropriate installation of IE. Was not able to duplicate this process for the Active Desktop. HTH, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's
