David,

>>You might want to look at Robot/Client... I've never worked with it, but
it>>'s supposed to allow scheduling of PC tasks.


I have worked with it and it can pull off some pretty amazing stunts.  I used
it at my last place of employ and the OPs group was able to automate most of
the daily tasks of interacting with our NT and Netware servers.  We ran jobs
and did file transfers between 4 or 5 servers and 2 /400's.  It does have
limitations but I found them to be minor.  Biggest "nit" was that when a file
transfer was listed as completed, what it really meant was that the command to
start the transfer actually was received at the PC.  As far as we could see
there was no Robot//Client way to see if a file was actually sent or received.
We ended up using batch file commands and a VB app or 2 to plug what few holes
we found.  I would definitely recommend it.
