Configuration of scheduled tasks

You use the command line in combination with 'Windows Taakplanner' ('Windows Scheduler'). This allows you to have Windows perform command lines at fixed times.

Procedure

• Schedule regular tasks

  After creating the bat file, you can schedule it using the Windows function Scheduled tasks.

• Scheduled tasks with more than one schedule

  You can perform a task several times a day by adding it to Windows Task Scheduler.

• Check for presence of batch file with IF EXIST

  You can check whether certain files are present using an 'IF EXIST' command. You can use this to execute commands via a batch file.

• Command line for general logging via batch file

  Profit maintains a log file while running a batch file if you entered this in the command line. Profit only logs errors in this file. You can maintain a simple log file that saves a line before and after running the batch file.
