Description - Schedule - Eric



I need to launch programs, Batch files, and scripts automatically. Microsoft now has a decent Task Scheduler, but I didn`t have that back when I wrote this program. Every other scheduler I could find came with a nasty shareware nag screen or made itself an unwelcome guest on my task bar. So I wrote my own scheduler. The Schedule program has no user interface because it really doesn`t need one. Setting up the specs on what programs get launched is handled by an INI file. A GUI doesn`t add much to this simple Process. The only remaining item where a GUI might be handy is to shut the program down. But I elected to let the sytem kill the program via the Task Manager (hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, select "Schedule", and "End Task"). So I got out of all the bother with a GUI. The best part of no GUI is no window. That means no task bar or system tray clutter. If you want, Schedule will keep a log of program launches (including it`s own start and stop times).
