A script using Windows Scripting Host 1.0 can be executed on a scheduled
basis from Windows NT's scheduler. This is useful for system administrators
to run unattended tasks.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Windows NT AT command invokes the scheduler.
Here is an example of the command to execute a WSH script at 16:00:
AT 16:00:00 /interactive "c:\winnt\samples\wsh\excel.vbs"
The winnt\samples\wsh directory is installed with WSH.
Try the above statement with a time that is ahead of the current time by a
minute or so to make sure it accepts it.
Caveats
-------
- The "/interactive" switch needs to be applied to the AT command if there
is any desired user interactivity.
- The full path to the .vbs or .js file needs to be included in the AT
command.
- It doesn't work when using wscript or cscript in the AT command.
