Hiya, I have been told that there is an application called scheduler on NT. This application supposedly resides in the Control Panel.Now I can't find it. I have to configure a stop and start time for a batch file. Is this possible?

Can someone please help?
Thanks

The Command Scheduler is available with The NT Resource Kit. In order to run this program, the Schedule service must also be running. You can enable it through the control panel.

Also available is the "at" command. Throught the command promptyou can use this command to schedule the start of programs. Use the /? switch to see the syntax info.

Hope this helps!

Just add a little more to jkeeler's correct response.
NT installs default services, including the schedule service. This does NOT show on the Control Panel. You would access it as jkeller described. The NT Resource kit has an extended version of this feature, called Command Scheduler, that is implemented with the program winat.exe . It has a GUI and can easily permit things to run on either a local or remote machine. (Give the points to jkeller)
