Soon.exe: Near-Future Command Scheduler Topics | Previous | Next
Soon is very useful when creating and debugging scheduled jobs. This task often requires that the same job be scheduled repetitively as a one-off job, with debugging and corrections to the job between iterations.
Using the AT command to schedule jobs repetitively in this manner can be time-consuming, because AT accepts only absolute times to determine when the job should be run. Rescheduling a job with AT requires, at the very least, that you edit the time in the AT command. Rescheduling such a job with Soon can save a lot of debugging time.
