OVERVIEW
=====================================================================
Auto Task 2000 is a scheduling service for Windows
95/98/ME/NT40/2000/XP. It is designed to automatically run programs
at specified times without the need for user interaction. With
AutoTaskÆs feature rich functionality, it supports a variety of
automation needs. Listed below are some of the features support:
* Ability to define multiple commands per each task.
* Run tasks at specified frequency, like daily, weekly, monthly.
* Run tasks repeatedly at specified intervals such as every xx
minutes and xx hours.
* Run tasks under the system account or user accounts(NT/2000/XP),
thereby controlling the resources to which the program will have
access.
* Determines whether the tasks should be allowed to interact
with any logged-on user(NT/2000/XP).
* Run tasks regardless of whether any user is logged on.
* Run tasks based on whether or not a defined condition is met,
such as file exist, file has changed or application running.
* Sends user defined keys to applications to emulate operation that
would normally be done by a user interacting with the program.
=====================================================================
INSTALLATION NOTES
=====================================================================
Most likely the first time you install AutoTask, the installation
program will ask you whether or not to replace DLLs that are
currently in use. You must answer yes and reboot your PC before the
program will work correctly.
Windows 95/98 users require that DCOM95/DCOM98 be installed. If you
have not yet installed this Microsoft program, do so before
installing AutoTask. You can download these file from the following
URLs:
http://www.cypressnet.com/download/dcom95.exe
http://www.cypressnet.com/download/dcom98.exe
Note! 98 users will also need IE5.1 or greater installed.
If installing on Windows NT/2000/XP the installation program will
automatically setup AutoTask as a service.
=====================================================================
NOTE TO VERSION 2.xx USERS (UPGRADING)
=====================================================================
As this version has many design changes we recommend highly that you
backup your data files. The installation is setup to automatically
backup the files for you. Simply answer "YES" to the backup dialog
boxes. If you do not backup your tasks files and decide to return to
a previous version you will have to recreate the tasks files
manually.
NOTE! If you answer "YES" to backups and install to the same directory
you will be able to return to the previous version simply by
uninstalling.
We have taken great care to automatically convert previous tasks and
dat files to the new version. However we recommend you review the
tasks for correct parameters after the installation is complete.
Where both scheduled and conditions triggers were being used in the
previous version you will find two task. The original with the
scheduled trigger and a new task with the name
"Trigger for - <originalname>. The command in this trigger tasks will
be to call the original task command list.
