I have written a small script to read some text files received over ftp and load it on to MS SQL server.
But the problem is I have to run the script every day at a specific time.
I am on Windows Nt environment.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dibakar

Use the "At" command on NT. Refer to NT help
on usage of this command. You can schedule
tasks for yoru machine to run commands at
specific intervals and also repeat it.

Example:
at \\marketing 00:00 /every:5,10,15,20,25,30 archive

This schedules an archive activity at 00:00 hrs on every 5th day of the month specified.

Try the Task Scheduler on NT. Then browse for your scripts and schedule your jobs as needed.

The path: Winnt\Tasks\Add Schedule Task =================
