|
|
I have looked all over for a simple way to create a task in the Windows XP Task Scheduler with VDS. I have found references to the Task Scheduler API and have found examples for everything from C++ to VBScript but I have no idea where to go from there. Can anyone shed any light on the subject? Is there a way through DDE or the sendmsg function? What about the registry?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!  _________________ "ah, come take my hand... we're ridin' out tonight to face the promised land"

Can you post some examples of the VBScript/C++ code you found?
The more advanced-languages programmers might be able to help
you out.  _________________ FreezingFire

You know what.. I found out that XP comes with a utility (schtasks.exe) that will let you create, delete, run, query, etc. the Scheduled tasks on your system or a remote system. I was able to get it working just fine. Thanks though!  _________________ "ah, come take my hand... we're ridin' out tonight to face the promised land"
