Running Script When Not Logged IN


Recommended Posts

I wrote a script - that needs to start running at 6:00 AM and end at 7:00 PM. I have controlled for the running period (6 AM - 7 PM) with a while loop and checking the time and deciding what to do based on the time. However, how can I start the script when the system boots - almost like - if not as a service. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

checking the time and deciding what to do based on the time.

One option, use the task scheduler with a compiled version of your script. Set the allowed run time for the task to be an hour. Use case statements for your different times. If your only doing a couple of events in that hour then schedule them as individual tasks. Otherwise, do a loop and allow the scheduler to kill it off at 7. This way you don't have to worry about the server starting, editing the registry for startup, and other admins would go there first to look anyway.

Just an idea.
