Hi!
How can i count the time elapsed in minutes by dos command? i need to run an exe program every 5 minutes and 2 hours in the nt scheduler.

Won't the NT scheduler do that for you?
Otherwise you might look for a small program called wait.com which can be used in batch files to wait x seconds and then move on the the next command in the batch process.

i'm not that familiar with batch file programming but i just want to get the time so that i can set the running of the exe program. for example, using the AT command, at 2:00 PM run exe1 at 2:10 PM run exe2 at 2:20 PM run exe2 (every 10 minutes) ... ... at 6:00 PM run exe1 again (every 4 hours) then if 10:00 PM, schedule of exe1 and exe2 will stop then at 6:00 AM schedule for exe1 and exe2 will start again.
If anyone can help me with this, i would greatly appreciate it.
