Scheduling unattended jobs on workstation

[Eugene F.]

Hi

Is XP's own Task Scheduler robust and reliable enough to run custom
jobs (both 32-bit and 16-bit apps or batch files calling them)?

Would I be better off with a 3rd-party product? If so, which one?

This will be used on a workstation that has a user logged in and
running unattended 24x7.

TIA, Eugene

I think so!

Maybe the user interface is better for you - not something that someone
else could tell you.

The SAME user!?
