WINAT and AT are different. My colleagues tell me AT is a pain and doesn't
really work, but WINAT, in the resource kit, is much better. Unfortunately
I don't have lots of experience with it; now that you ask, I'm not sure how
many entries it would take. I would hope that it is similar to W2K's
scheduler
("Scheduled Tasks"), which is what I currently use,
where running 10 MRTG .cfg files each every five minutes
during the day requires only 10 entries, and the parms associated with each
entry say the equivalent of "Every day starting 10-Oct-2000 at 12am, run
this command
every 5 minutes, allowing it to run no longer than 5 minutes, until
11:59pm."
However I'm afraid I don't know if it is.

I really know the AT-command but I think to schedule something every five
minute
I need about 288 entries. This is only for one service I want to run every
5 minute.
Since the AT-command doesn´t support "/every: 5min".

I do not like to have so much AT-entries also if there is a front end GUI.
Is there any other solution for doing so? (of course "cron" would be the
best)

PS: soon-command always schedules me to the next day! Maybe a problem
with german NT?

Hello,

winat is just a GUI front-end for the NT Schedule service. The command
line exists and is called... at! You don't actually need winat to use
the Schedule service but it is much easier with it.

In the RK you will also find a very small and very useful program
called soon that allows you to start something in x seconds. It is
sometimes much easier to schedule something by a batch file without
using absolute starting time.

Regards,

Pierre.
