What is the AT command to run a batch file at 4:00AM M-F every week? Also I need to know how to create a batch file to automatically close all apps and restart the computer?

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313565 ("HOW TO: Use the AT Command to Schedule Tasks")
You'd use
at 4:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F mybatch.bat
You'd use
at 4:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F mybatch.bat
The command doesn't work
at 4:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
it says "you used an option with an invalid value"
at 4:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
it says "you used an option with an invalid value"
Ooops, did you check the article? Try
at 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
It has to be 04:00, not 4:00, sorry.
at 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
It has to be 04:00, not 4:00, sorry.
I tried the command, but I still receive the same message...
at \\TEST1 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
at \\TEST1 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Thu,F c:\shutdown.bat
will your shutdown.bat batch file work at all,, maybe its the batch file that is causing the error,, not the at/schedule part.
It isn't the batch file. I even added the batch file to the local system permission, but I still receive "you used an option with an invalid value". Anything else?
err, guys
this works, I just tested it:
at \\test 04:00 /every:Monday,Tuesday,Wedn
Enjoy!

Hum, re-read the article - it says
use the following abbreviations: M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su
So, MS apparently has a bug in their own KB :o)
Does
at \\TEST1 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F c:\shutdown.bat
work?
