    Hi,

    I'm looking to schedule a task in windows 7 that will shut my computer down at 02.00 every weekday morning. I have configured a basic task in tasksched that will do this daily but I want the weekend excluded.

    Googling lead me to the at.exe command which seems similar to scheduling in unix.

    Is it possible to schedule the below or is there an easier way to just have a command run on weekdays in windows 7 taskscheduler

    at 02:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f shutdown -s

    Thanks,

    Woden

    When setting the triggers on the task in Task Scheduler, select weekly, rather than daily. You can then set it to run every week on specific days.

    Exactly. And why use at.exe? In Windows 7, just create a basic task using the wizard.

    With older Windows version, use a simple batch file with the desired arguments.

    Nice one. Sorted that out there under "weekly" as you mentioned.

    Cheers,
