Scheduler class

General

Does anyone have a task scheduler class or example, or perhaps windows api call to the windows scheduler?

Thoughts on where to start?

TIA

Perhaps you could explain in more detail what you want?

I am looking to kick off helper apps on a scheduled basis,

Currently, I have a timer in a loop that triggers a process every x minutes.

I want to have options to schedule the operation for a specific date and time, similar to the windows scheduler.

Doesnt Windows have a shell command called RunAt that does this?

It’s called schtasks now:

I had the same need a few time ago. I made something you could find useful. See here. Please note :

  • Not fully tested specially the regex to test cron syntax.
  • I don’t remember where and from who I got inspiration. Probably and as usual from multiple sources.
  • It would be nice to share improvements you could make.
