Scheduled Task for every .30 seconds

[M626]

Is there a ways to schedule a Task Using the Windows Scheduled Task to run every 30 seconds?

Not that I'm aware of... so why not use a batch file with the SLEEP command?

for example:

@echo off
sleep 30
start batchfilename
CommandToExecute

I haven't tested it, but it should wait 30 seconds, then start the same batch file again, then execute the command you want executed. We sleep before executing and start the batch file again to ensure that however long it takes your program to run doesn't delay things and make them take more than 30 seconds.

I don't think that the windows scheduler can get that granular, but you could kick off a VBscript once a day that has a loop in it to run the command 2880 times... Like this:

Option Explicit

Dim ctr, intReturn, objShell, strCommand

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ctr = 0
strCommand = "copy c:\*.txt \\server\share\copyfolder"

Do
	ctr = ctr + 1
	intReturn = objShell.Run(strCommand, , True)
	WScript.Sleep 30000
Loop Until ctr = 2880

This assumes of course that the command runs almost instantly. You may have to tweak how long it sleeps to ensure you don't overlap one day's script with another.
Hope this helps...
