Hello,

I am looking for a task scheduler that could run a task regularly (every
15 mn for example), and that could also run missed task if possible.
I have too much problems with the windows one.

Thanks

Here is my info, links are like us, they die. If any of these links are
dead or are no longer freeware, at least you have the name of the
program which you put into a search engine like Google & maybe you can
let me know the latest info.
I am not recommending anything, my list gives you a starting point to
find something to suit your operating system ( most people do not even
mention it ) & skill level. What will work on my computer, may not be
happy on yours. What I can understand, re how to install & run, may not
apply to you.

My guess is that Jmatt was asking "which flavor" of Winderz. Task
Manager for win98 is a very different beast from that of win2k & xp.

Do any of these allow scheduling of tasks on shutdown, boot up or log off?
