Hi all,

I am trying to set up a cron job on my PC running Window
XP. I used Scheduled Tasks and add a scheduled Task. I
want to run a series of commands on DOS prompts but can't
figure out how to. All I could do was adding a Command
Prompt (DOS) to the scheduled task but could not find
where to put the list of commands to be executed.

Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thong Bui
 
Hi Thong,

You can create batch files and save them as *.cmd files. You can then
schedule the *.cmd files to run.
