NT Schedule Tasks in 5 minute Increments

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.misc (More info?)

I need to schedule a task to run every 5 minutes on an NT box. I know the
'at' command doesn't allow minute/hour increments. How can I work around
this issues? I know there are two other MS tools schtasks and in XP I see
Task Scheduler. What are my options? Thank you in advance. Trina

Use Task Scheduler. Create the task then properties for the task
Schedule|Advanced check the box for "Repeat Task" every 10 minutes with a
duration of 24 hours. If no Task Scheduler then use soon.exe from the
resource kit.

The "Task Scheduler" comes with IE 5.x (maybe 5.5) - it works the same as
the one in XP (actually it may be the same code). Install IE 5 and you
should be good to go.
