AT scheduler
Posted by Ainun Abdullah on September 4th, 2003


Dear all,

Appreciate if somebody can help me on how to use AT
scheduler to execute a certain command every 2 hours.
My company has bought a third party software and we need
to automate execution of one particular command/process
every 2 hours.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You have a couple of possibilities:

- Use the Task Scheduler via the Control Panel.
It has a graphical user-interface that lets you
schedule jobs every x hours or minutes.

- Run these commands from the Command Prompt:

at 0:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su c:\tools\SomeJob.exe
at 2:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su c:\tools\SomeJob.exe
at 4:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su c:\tools\SomeJob.exe
etc.

Note that jobs scheduled with at.exe will NOT be able
to access network resources, e.g. shared drives.

Sorry for the blank e-mail before this.

How to cancel AT command that was executed from command
prompt?

Run this command

at /?

to see the various options you have. If you run at.exe without
any parameter then you can see the ID of every job that is
currently scheduled.
