AT commands: why does it not work?
Posted: 15 Jan 2013 06:05
Code: Select all
at 00:00 /interactive "echo hi"
Why does it not work?
But if:
Code: Select all
at 00:00 "cmd /c echo something > C:\something.txt"
It works.

Code: Select all
at 00:00 /interactive "echo hi"
Code: Select all
at 00:00 "cmd /c echo something > C:\something.txt"
I am not convinced it works or not as the evidence for that conclusion is missing. Try
Code: Select all
at 00:00 /interactive "echo hi &pause"
Code: Select all

Well it works, but not interactively. It is true that you can use schtasks as well to plan your tasks but there are differences.tinfanide wrote:Code: Select all

Same result.
I strongly doubt this and certainly not true for XP !shirulkar wrote:At does not automatically load Cmd.exe, the command interpreter. If you are not running an executable (.exe) file, you must explicitly load CMD at the beginning of the command e.g. cmd /c dir
