NT Batch - Double 'at' Command
I expect that this will be a very short thread; I just need to confirm my syntax.

I want to schedule a command for a certain day (e.g. the 15th of next month) then have the command repeat at each occurrence of the specified interval (e.g. every Tuesday).

The following XML describes the syntax that needs confirmation. My PHP app will locate the "Windows NT" schedule-command, get its parameter names, extract the CDATA, and preg_replace() the %-enclosed names with their corresponding values.
Code:
 
  
XML Code:
 
	
  
 
    
 
       
 
           
            
 
               Original
                - XML Code 
            
 
           
           
        
 
    
 
  
 
  
  
  1. <scheduleCommand systems="Windows%20NT" parameters="hour0 minute0 day0 hour1 minute1 day1 command"><![CDATA[
  2.     at %hour0%:%minute0% /next:%day0% at %hours1%:%minutes1% /interactive /every:%day1% %command%
  3. ]]></scheduleCommand>


That just looks like a mess to me, so I doubt you want to pore over it just to help me. So here are two examples of what the PHP might get as a result of using preg_replace() as specified above (where 'dowhatever' is the command):
  • at 0:0 /next:15 at 17:30 /interactive /every:T dowhatever
  • at 23:0 /next:W at 2:15 /interactive /every:4 dowhatever

Is that right? Thanks!

Why not just use the "Scheduled Tasks" built into windows? You'll find it in the control panel...

I'm building a server application that needs to regularly prune its database, and it can only use the command line.

I'm starting with MySQL, then I plan to port to Derby and any others I can get a hold of.

A scheduled task can fire off a php script that will do that ... you can even pass command line args... this is NOT your only option.

I'm sorry, I was not aware that you had replied.

I understand that a scheduled task can use the command line, but I need the command line to schedule a task (because the task needs to be scheduled by a program rather than the user).
