Freeware Action scheduling freeware

[Annie]

Hi guys,

I am looking for a freeware scheduling tool that runs in system start up and
checks the schedules
if the sechules are ready to go then fires up a message to remind the user
(some elderly users)
and then fires the software that is scheduled to run

eg: want to schedule to run antivirus program each week once and run the
defrag tools each forthnight for example.

Anything around?

Tia

You might try a "cron" clone like the Kalab one;

I actually use OTTO (more limited) at http://user.mc.net/~warp/index.html

or Kirby Alarm & Task Scheduler
http://www.kirbyfooty.com/
"Kirby Alarm is an alarm clock and task scheduler that will pop up a note,
or run a program, or play a sound, or send an email at user defined
intervals. Various options are available to set alarms (or programs) to
run every few minutes, hours, days, months, years, or the last Friday in
the month, or the last day in the month. Plus lots
more!! "

Or one of the "sticky notes" programs might well do, like ATNotes or
Stickies etc., see the Pricelessware site.
