System Scheduler FREE Version
System Scheduler is an excellent tool to schedule unattended running of applications, batch files, scripts and much more.
For anyone used to using MS Windows own Task Scheduler, or the older AT or WinAT commands, System Scheduler is an ideal and easy to use replacement, with more flexibility and features. System Scheduler runs totally independently of the MS Windows Task Scheduler and has no dependencies on it.
Also, you can schedule popup reminders so you’ll never forget those important appointments and things to do. Reminders, tasks and other events can be set to run once or every minute, hour, day, week, month or year and several variations on these. Popup Reminders can be snoozed as required.
System Scheduler not only allows you to launch programs at scheduled times but also to send keypresses and mouseclicks to those programs. This allows you to not only schedule programs to run overnight or at the weekend but also get those programs to do useful things while unattended. A really powerful feature.
Finally, the Free vesion of System Scheduler also includes a Window Watcher feature. The program will check for the existence of a particular window and send keypresses or send the window a close signal to terminate running applications. Useful for triggering actions or handling error messages while you are away.

AutoTask 2000 Task Scheduler
Why waste hours every day repeating the same routine over and over again, when AutoTask 2000 can do it for you automatically? Free up your time, and spend it wisely on important matters instead of being a slave to time consuming chores, tasks, and routines.
Whether you use your computer at home or work, you probably have many tasks you perform routinely. Backups, downloads, uploads, system cleanup, retrieving and processing email, daily, weekly or monthly reports are just a few examples where AutoTask 2000 can help and simplify matters in the most natural way.
AutoTask 2000 is a task scheduler for Windows that is designed to automate all those routine computing tasks. It is designed to replace the use of the task scheduler that comes with Windows. Providing more flexibility for when and how your tasks are performed..
Take control and automate those routine tasks!
AutoTask provides great flexibility with many great features, and gives you control over your routine tasks. Versatile and flexible event scheduling options give you full control over when and how often a task is run. Watch triggers - such as ‘file exist’, ‘application running’ - and many more - allow you to run your tasks when needed, rather than by a set schedule.
Try AutoTask 2000 event scheduling software free for 30 days.
During the trial period AutoTask is fully functional allowing you to experience AutoTask in its full functionality. Allowing you to experiment with your actual automation needs.
Powerful Features Available
AutoTask 2000 has enough power and functionality to meet all your automation needs. The power of AutoTask and its ability to automate effectively your common tasks comes from the concept of flexibility. This flexibility comes from the combination of all the features.
1. Multiple Commands Per Task
The concept behind a task is quite simple. A set of actions is performed to retrieve a certain result. When you are manually completing a task, you do step one, then step two, then step three and so on, until you reach your required result. That is also the concept with which AutoTask is designed. You build a set of actions, or commands, that need to run sequentially to complete a task. Commands such as starting and stopping programs, sending keystrokes to a specific window, sending DDE commands, are just a few of the available commands and options. Logic commands such as ‘delay’ or ‘wait for program to finish’, allow for greater control of your tasks. Whether your needs are simple or complex AutoTask can handle them.
2. Ability To Trigger Tasks Based On Conditions
AutoTask 2000 will allow you to launch a task based on certain conditions being true. Conditions such as whether or not a file exists, or whether not a specific program is running, or whether or not a specific window is visible are just a few of available triggers that you can define. This allows you to build logic into your tasks.
3. A Powerful Scheduling Engine
Scheduling flexibility is the key to successful automation. AutoTask’s scheduling engine goes beyond the basics (daily, weekly, monthly) of a scheduler. With AutoTask, you can define intervals such as - for example - every 5 minutes, every other day, every third working day, every second Tuesday of the month, twice a year etc. Along with the ability to define intervals, you can also set run times. For example, you could schedule a task to run every 5 minutes but only between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Or you could tell AutoTask to run a task only on workdays or holidays.
4. Runs As Service / Background Process
On Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 AutoTask runs as a service. This allows for many types of tasks to be ran in the background, even when the users are logged off. On Windows 95, 98 and ME which do not run services, the program runs as a background process, out of the way of your regular work.
