SCHTASKS from the command line is very nice if you have Windows XP. You can schedule remotely. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Falanga [mailto:rfalanga@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 12:36 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Scheduling jobs to run (without purchasing any product to help me do this) We just discovered that one of our scheduled jobs hasn't run since November. 5 years ago a developer here wrote a VB program to control the parameters to the various jobs we ran, etc. I have found the source code, but I cannot find how it actually schedules anything to run in Windows 2000. (It handles the parameters to the jobs, how often they should run, etc, and records all of this info in some SQL Server tables, but it doesn't look to me as though it does anything at all as far as actually making anything run in batch on a Windows 2000 Server.) So, the question I have is, what methods are there for running anything in batch mode on Windows 2000 Server, without purchasing a product to help me do that? (I am sure that the developer probably used whatever ships with Win2K.) ________________________________________ Rod Falanga http://amci.unm.edu ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor StressedPuppy.com Games Feeling stressed out?
