Scheduled Tasks

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

To schedule a task that runs every 70 days if I am logged on
The following command schedules a security script, Sec.vbs, to run every 70
days. The command uses the /mo parameter to specify an interval of 70 days.
It also uses the /it parameter to specify that the task runs only when the
user under whose account the task runs is logged onto the computer. Because
the task will run with the permissions of my user account, then the task
will run only when I am logged on.

schtasks /create /tn "Security Script" /tr sec.vbs /sc daily /mo 70 /it

Note

. To identify tasks with the interactive-only (/it) property, use a
verbose query (/query /v). In a verbose query display of a task with /it,
the Logon Mode field has a value of Interactive only.

It appears that switch isn't supported in XP, now why do they do that?
I'll see if I can find another way
