For example, to perform a virus scan each day when a workstation is booted, select Timeless. Run if scheduled time missed: Select this option to run the event even if the scheduled time is missed.

Then type the number of the Errorlevel to monitor. If that Errorlevel is returned by the event, the command defined by the Run: [ ] choice will be launched. Run this Event from: DOS Scheduler - Select this to run the event from SCHEDDOS.EXE. Windows Scheduler - Select this to run the event from SCHEDWIN.EXE. Network Login Script - Select this to run the event from LANAGENT.EXE. [ ] Mark the event as completed: Select this option if you still want the event to be treated as completed, even though the selected Errorlevel was returned. Leave this choice blank if you want the scheduled event to be performed again if the Errorlevel is returned. Example: The scheduler is run when the workstation logs into the network. If a virus is detected during a weekly virus scan, a LOGOUT batch file will be run to send an alert message to the network administrator and log the workstation off the network. Instead of allowing the workstation to log into the network again and not be scanned until the following week, by leaving this "Completed" choice unmarked, the virus scan event will be launched the next time the workstation logs into the network. As long as a virus is found on the workstation, the LOGOUT.BAT file will be run. When the workstation is virus free, the virus scanner will not return the virus Errorlevel, and the workstation will be allowed to log into the network. Run: [ ] Type in the command-line that should be run when the Errorlevel is returned. Run Style: In Microsoft Windows, programs can be run in Normal, Minimized, or Maximized windows. Select the window type to use when the Scheduled Event is run. .TOPIC: File Window Select the file to run by selecting the required drive, directory and file name.
