Hi,

I need to use the AT Command to run a batch file. However, after i config the date and time, the scheduler does not seems to activate the batch file. What could be the problem?

One more thing, does the AT Command exists in all the Win2000/XP/NT/Win9x Platform??

Thanks
 
If you type "at" at the command prompt, it should show the status of all at tasks. (If one was configured to run, but failed, you'll get an 'error' message' - chances are this is because it couldn't find the batch file or something).

At exists in all NT-based OSs, so NT, 2K and XP yes, but not the 9x series.

There is also a GUI tool called Task Sheduler (a nice alternative to at), which comes with IE5 and above. So NT4 you'd need to install it on, 98 (I think), 2K and XP already all have it. [auto] MCSE NT4/W2K
 
HI,

If you are facing the problem with at coomand in dos prompt there is one utility comes with resource kit "winat" this gives you a graphical user interface . This works on Winnt,2k,xp for Win 98 you have to install task schedular service.

Hope this will help you,

You can find "winat" utilty at Microsoft's web site.

We had the same problem running AT jobs from the scheduler.
But if we used the command prompt to enter the AT job manually it worked without any problems.

So if you are using the scheduler, try using a dos-box to run the AT job.

What happens if you place a 'PAUSE' in the batch file ?
Do you see it run ?

AT does have a habit of making simple batch files a little tricky to schedule, I would certainly go for WINAT too
