Solve : Task Scheduling?

Answer»

I know XP has the inbuilt Task Scheduler but I'm looking at Winat from the MS Resource Kit.

Would someone who has used it please comment on the ease of use ETC..

Thanks.

Valerie.... Just out of curiousity , what is it your trying to SCHEDULE that XP's scheduler wont do ?


dl65 WinAT is not as easy to use as the Task Scheduler - that's one of the reasons why MS introduced the Task Scheduler. It also has less features. That said, the Task Scheduler is not that great either, when you compare it for example with cron on Unix/Linux systems... COMMERCIAL crons are available for Windows, but I've yet to STUMBLE across a free one.Quote

dl65 . Thanks for your query. Am not trying to use XP's Task Scheduler at all. I read about the Ms Resource Kit and decided to download and investigate, just for the heck of it. Winat stood out as one which might come in useful so, before launching, I just wanted opinions from users past & present. Seems I'm several years too late with this one.

robpomeroy. Thank you for your opinions and enlightenment.
