SCHTASKS from the command line is very nice if you have Windows XP.  You can
schedule remotely.

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.)
