Microsoft documentation for the "AT" scheduler command shows that it has an /every: switch to schedule a script to reoccur on specified days. I've done it before, but I can't remember the syntax for that switch. The documentation does not include an example that uses the /every: switch.
So, can you help me write an example "AT" scheduler command to run a batch file on the local machine daily, monday through friday?
Example:
c:\at 12:01am /every: updatestats.bat
Provided a simple batch file test.cmd with the contents:
echo jscott
You can set the output into a variable with the following command line:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %a in ('test.cmd') do SET OUTPUT=%a
Used on the command line like this:
C:\>SET OUTPUT
Environment variable OUTPUT not defined
C:\>FOR /F "tokens=*" %a in ('test.cmd') do SET OUTPUT=%a
C:\>ECHO %OUTPUT%
jscott
Should you want to use the FOR within a batch file, rather than command line, you need to change %a to %%a.
