NT Scheduling - anything better than AT?

[Scott2S]

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party scheduling utility for NT 4.0 that is better than the standard NT AT schedule utility?? I have looked at NT CRON, but I'm not very versed in the CRON syntax.

Obviously you can use WinAT from the resource kit if you want a graphical front end, but that is still limited.

From what I've heard the best 3rd party tool is Opalis Robot.

If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......

What are you trying to do with the scheduler? I've used the standard AT command for years and found it to be quite stable and reliable. A little annoying at times but it always has worked for me!

I agree AT is really stable, but I would like a little more flexibility and ease when scheduling items. I would like the ability to use different logon session names with applications. I also call a lot of batch files that use command line parameters and have had some difficulty with AT.

I use arcana scheduler from Arcana Developement. Has a lot of options and works fine.

I use JIT Scheduler, very intuitive and never have any problems

You can get wincron from

(I think), which is basically a Windows emulation of the Unix cron tab. MCSE NT4/W2K
