Scheduling batch file runs without task scheduler?

[Aegis]

I need another way to run batch files without the scheduler service.

Did you forget to search?

You're going to need something running to keep track of the time. IMO, the task scheduler service is the easiest way to go...

[Aegis]

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear, but I meant doing this without 3rd party software?

[Zxian]

Then you can't do it. Either the service or some other program has to be running to make your programs run on schedule.

What's so bad about the Task Scheduler service? Or are you being "hardcore" and trying to strip everything out of your install?

You can do it the way I did it.

I have a Server here at home that, after 12 hours of uptime, it automatacly restarts.

What I did was:

- Created a batch file with a timer

- Went to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS > CURRENTVERSION > Run

And made an entrie of that batch file. Now, everytime my Server starts, the .CMD file is automatacly started.

Not sure if this is what you want tho.

Brilliant! Not exactly what I was looking for, but a few modifications to this idea... !
