Scheduling Scripts with the Windows NT4 AT Scheduler

Scheduling Scripts with the Windows NT 4 AT Scheduler

The Windows Task Scheduler is the recommended tool for running TE scripts at specific times, but you can also use the NT 4 AT scheduler.

If you want to use the Windows NT 4 AT Scheduler to run TE scripts at specific times, follow these guidelines:

A user must be logged in at the time the task is scheduled to run, though the computer can be locked.
Include the /interactive switch in each task.
Include the full path to the script with the file name and extension.

The following example runs a script at 2:12 pm, every day of the week. The script is on the computer's C drive, in the example folder, and is named te-test.vbs. For example:

at 14:12 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su c:\example\te-test.vbs

For more details and switches for the AT Scheduler type AT/? at the command prompt.
You can install a GUI task scheduler as part of Internet Explorer if you have version 4 or higher, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;171229. The task scheduler is part of the Offline Browsing Pack.
