im running Vista I get an error saying that i cant run a AT command in interactive and to use SCHTASKS command.

well im having a kinda of a hard time using that command would someone give me an example if possible.

in my batch i have a an option that if seleted creates a batch file and it schedules the task using the AT command well its not interactive.

i would like to know how could i schedule a batch file to run either daily or weekly and is interactive.

thank you
Brock

I powered on the Vista box and examined the mysterious command, here two examples:

A) Schedule weekly on friday at 3.00 PM (interactive)

  schtasks /Create /SC WEEKLY /D FRI /TN Friday_Batch /TR C:\MyBatch\My_Fri.bat /ST 15:00

B) Schedule daily at 9.15 PM (interactive)

  schtasks /Create /SC DAILY /TN Daily_Batch /TR C:\MyBatch\My_Daily.bat /ST 21:15

Just try and report what happens.
