Auto start & close

Hi Guyz is there any program that can automaticaly open a program at a certain time and close the program at a certain time ?

 

What operating system are you using?

 

i think windows task scheduler can...?

 

Window XP service pack 2

Nah i've tried it... doest work ... don't know what's the reason is.

Any program can do the job?

 

The Windows Task Scheduler should work, I am using just that to start and stop a Windows Service. One batch file to issue a start command to the Windows Service and another one to stop it.

So what's the problem you are seeing with Windows Task Scheduler ? I assume you are talking about an executable (.exe), so how do you want to stop it ? By killing the process ? For executables I have used SRVANY in the past, it's a bit old, but it still works on XP if you can still find it on the Internet. You can then start and stop your application as a Windows Service.

 

write your own script and make it run in the task scheduler =)

If he can write his own script, I don't think he'll be asking
