schedule task

Silvio 72 · 05-17-2003, 12:14 PM

Hi all.
I want to make a schedule task in XP pro,and make it run every 10 minutes(lets say "forever"),but i cant!.
i have trouble with the time setting options,what would them be?
I know there must be :repeat after every 10 min,but what about the others, i mean start time, duration,from-to,etc,(there is where i get lost)
:huh :huh

well, the only way to do it with scheduled tasks (that i can think of) would be to make an entry for every 10 minutes!

and that's highly unfeasible i'm guessing...it would be easy to do if you were a programmer, just have a little program in the background launch another program every 10 minutes...but i don't think there's any easy way to do that with scheduled tasks.

Well the thing was i couldnt make it "forever"
The 10 min stuff was easy (there is an option).
But it asked starting and ending time among other settings that confused me.
But i managed to make it anyway!

Get an external task scheduler. There should be 1000 of them at download.com.

I found this one that's highly rated, but I have never used it.

you would just make the start time 12:00 am and the end time 12:00 pm
