If the 1st day of the month falls on a Sunday, will the executable still run on the next available monday?

You're right jimjam ... just a tick, I'll be back with some code

J.

ps.: Got that right ? Job shall run on first of each month except it's saturday or sunday ?

the following uses an ini-file on the client computer to check if the executable has already been run on the client :

(Side Note : if the ini doesn't exist it'll be created automatically )

code:

---

$ini = 'c:\chk.ini'
if exist($ini) = 0
    $run = writeprofilestring($ini,"LastRun","Executed","never")
else
    $run = readprofilestring($ini,"LastRun","Executed")
endif
if $run = 0 or $run <> @month
    shell 'your executable'
    if @error = 0 ; or whatever it returns !
        $ = writeprofilestring(($ini,"LastRun","Executed",@month)
    endif
endif

---

Good enough ?

Jochen

PS.: unchecked 'cos I'm @home right now ...
