cyberwiz01 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I am wondering is it possible to run and "AT" command without having to specify the time. And so that it runs immediately after pressing the enter key. I am asking because I would rather not have to enter a time since I'm too lazy to input the extra 4 digits and look down to my taskbar and then wait for that time to come. Sorry for the noobish question, but it is very hard to google for a command called "at" since it is such a generic, short name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Huh?You could use the START command to run things right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwiz01 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 can the start command be used to run something on a remote machine? I was planning on using the at command since it can take a network computer as a paramater and schedule a task for it. It also is a nifty way of running commands on a remote computer.

oioldman Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 When i did at /? at the command prompt it gave me this =>The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer ata specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to usethe AT command.AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]AT [\\computername] time [/iNTERACTIVE] [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"\\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on local computer if this parameter is omitted.id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command./delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled./yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired.time Specifies the time when command is to run./interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user who is logged on at the time the job runs./every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed./next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, current day of the month is assumed."command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be runSo i'm guessing if you do it without the time switch it will run straight away along line soat \\computername /interactive "command"Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4tt3 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 AT is replaced from NT in win2000 and win2k3 with schdtasks.exe, if u r running that platform... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadGutts Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If your just wanting to run a program from a remote machine just click start, run and type in the share + program name ie "\\pcname\sharename\myprogram.exethat will run it across the network. If it is a program you use regularly then create an icon on the desktop useing the same path...Tis easy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian873 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I dont understand what you are trying to do. AT is a scheduler command so by nature it is for running the same set of commands at a regular interval. I think you may want to look at a BATCH command to do what you want. You will know doubt have checked it out but the windows help system has lots of information about AT aand also on the microsoft site.Please explain what you are trying to do and I will see if I cann help more.Here is a GUI version of AT it is pretty good.Hail HailWINAT.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheif_Powhatan Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I use the at command to automate a remote site that has about 300 computers....these machines are just sitting there incase of an emergency. I have a .bat file w/ all the machine names along w/ a command. I have them rebooting twice a day and setting the time wich is important. at xcopyfindif you put these together in a file alot can be accomplished with just a double click.Here is an exp. this will report to you all scheduled tasks that are set on each machine..... and redirect the output to a log on a share with the file name at.log.at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 You could also look into PSEXEC.EXE from systernals.com. It should do the trick for you and can be run from a batch file.tguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
