How to schedule a job on windows-NT

Hi,

How to schedule a job on windows-NT to run a Java program at specific time. Need detailed info.

Thanks,
Anil

With the AT command. Open the command window and enter the following:

C:\> at java <yourJavaProgram>

first check whether it really works if started immediately.

C:\> java <yourJavaProgram>

Type at to show all pending tasks and with at /delete you can delete tasks. at /? shows you all possibilities.

c:\>at 20:35 "java <JAVA_PRG>"
or
c:\>at 20:35 "java.bat"
where I included 'java' command in batch file but doest seem to be working and when I type 'at' to see jobs,
