If the file does not exist you will probably get a message "bad command or file name". This whole thread is getting out of hand. Why not just use the interactive task scheduler, fill in the parameters and be done with it?

what does interactive mean?Try this:

Interactive

Oh I forgot.
Starting a batch from a batch doesn´t work with at.
If anyone knows how to fix this, would be great.

uliHello,

We have used AT command to schedule the tasks.

It worked fine.

U can try the following command.

AT 14:30:00 /EVERY:m,t,w,th,f,s,su C:\servicesstart.bat

Thanks
pooja_Dev i know what interactive means, i meant on dos, what does it do if you type it inSteve, lets do this another way. Show US some examples of what you have tried, document any error messages, and let us know the results (or lack of any) that you have gotten.

Get back to us. ive tried
at 12:00PM /every:su,m,t,w,th,f,s start steve.bat
at 12:00PM start steve.bat

each say errorIt would have been helpful had you mentioned the error in full, but that aside, it's apparent you have not chosen to use any of the suggested solutions.

At the risk of REPEATING myself and others who have joined this thread, batch files need to RUN in the cmd environment.

at 5:00PM /interactive /every:Su,M,T,W,Th,F,S cmd /c "path\steve.bat"

should have worked. The /interactive switch is optional but you need to provide a path to your batch file.

I still fail to see your reluctance to document the error message in full (everytime I mistype the AT command I get the help function) or why you cannot use the task scheduler in the Accessories-->System Tools FOLDER on the START menu.


well i dont know the error, after the time i put to activate, i hit at, and it just says error next to it, i dont know what that means...and now you finally tell me how to use the interactice command, i didnt know where to put it, and i dont understand the path\steve....what does path mean?

i want to learn how to use dos, and i know about the scheduler, but i tried it with a .bat, and it didnt work...so idkApparently you and I are having a difficult time communicating. I would would suggest you repost this question and hope someone else can help you out. You need to learn more DOS than is possible in a forum.

Best of luck Steve.

PS. This also applies to your question concerning START.
