I need to schedule a task to run from 8:00 to 9:00 every 30 seconds or at
least every 1 minute: I tryied to use the AT command but many options look
to are missing.
Can I schedule the task with the options I need using VBscript?
Regards
Marius

I would probably just schedule a batch file to run at 8:00 and have the
batch file use the Sleep command or have it ping the local host for 30
seconds then loop back to the command. Have the batch file read the
time from the Echo command and use an IF statement to have it stop if
the time is greater than 9:00. Example:

========================================================
@echo off
:hippo
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=:" %%a in ('echo %time%') do (set tm=%%a%%b)
if %tm% GTR 900 goto :eof

::run some command here
Echo It's a lovely day %username%!

::sleep or ping the local host here for 30 seconds
PING 127.0.0.1 -n 31

goto :hippo

============================================================

Some here can probably convert something like that to a VBS script...

Use the windows task scheduler to schedule your *.bat or *.vbs scripts to
run. Your scripts can call the tasks you wish to run.

At.exe is a Windows NT/2000 command. You should now use schtasks.exe (which
is far more powerful than at.exe) or else the Task Scheduler via the Control
Panel, as mentioned by Jeff C.
