Hi imperl

I’m a big fan of cronw.
I use it on a daily basis to run bat and perl scripts.

Below is an example of the cron file syntax for running bat and perl scripts jobs on WinXP.
Adding or changing a job is simply a matter of editing the cron text file.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run a perl script at 06:04 and 16:04 each day.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
04 6,16 * * * C:\perl\bin\wperl.exe C:\Perl\_scripts\a_perl_script.pl
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run a bat script at 08:01 and 17:01 each Friday.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
01 08,17 * * 5 C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:\a_bat_script.bat"
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
