Suppose the name of my batch script is : st.bat, and script is in my machine's C:\ drive

1) What is the script intended to do, i mean what do you want to acheive
2) once the script is complete, you can use the windows scheduler to to run the script every hour.

Thanks

Windows scheduler is intented Exactly for Your task. And it has all needed options to precise control over the job execution time. It's true, just try.

You can doubt it, but I've run a script every 5 minutes for the last 2 years on one server - it updates MRTG to show a graph of my internet throughput. I use Scheduled Tasks. And it's still running. Is that "indefinite" enough?
