[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] cron-like program for the PC

mju@m-net.UUCP (Marc Unangst) (11/30/88)

I'm looking for a cron-like program that runs on a PC.  Note that I
do NOT need something like "at" - I already have one, and it works
fine.  But I'd like something that will sit in the background and
be able to, say, execute the command "fixdisk c:" every day at 4am.
"at" works okay for this, the only problem being that I must enter in
each event individually.  Thus, I need some sort of crontab-like file that
allows wildcards in the time/date.  It doesn't have to be able to
execute these processes when another program is running - At the DOS
prompt would be fine.  Binary, C, or Pascal source would be fine.  Thanks.
