How to run a job every hour using dos at command?

[Guest]

I am still using at command even though it is obsolete. I did not find an
at command to run
a job every hour. I know how to run a job at certain time of day, everyday

at \\NCSUSRAPSGGS1 00:30 /EVERY:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su cmd.exe /V /C
"e:\oracle\dev\bkup.bat"


To run this job every hour, I simply ended up creating 24 at jobs starting
at 00:00, 01;00, 02:00 .... There should be an easier way.

Why not create the Scheduled Task then properties for the task
Schedule|Advanced check the box for "Repeat Task" every 1 hour with a
duration of 24 hours.

thanks.
Is there a way to run scheduled task in a scripted way. The user interface
is nice, but if I want to setup similar jobs on another computer, I have to
reenter all those key strokes. Also, I have not been succesful in
scheduling taks from the user interafce, gives me some error invalid
login/password even when I am usig default system login.

Scheduled Tasks|Advanced|View Log may provide some details. If the job
connects to another machine you may need to add the user/ group 'logon as
batch job' rights (server side). Control Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security
Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignments
"Log on as a batch job"

Remember that if it involves network resources to make sure the user account
has permissions to the resources and also use UNC paths as mapped drives
won't exist when no one is logged on.

This article may also help.
