RE: [Wrapper-user] Regarding the service

[Sal I. <sal...@sy...>]

i've always used "at", the windows scheduler.  run "at" from a command
prompt.
i believe on some windows installations it is not installed automatically
(just add it from the windows cd).
with this you can schedule recurring jobs, like a daily .bat (or wrapper -c
wrapper.conf) at a given time.
with this you can also schedule jobs on system events like startup/shutdown.

the "at" scheduler also has a UI. to get to the windows scheduler on my xp
box i click on this:
Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Scheduled Tasks

also, last time i used a win98 box i found that it has a very similar
scheduler to "at", but not quite like it.
i ended up using it to simulate services by scheduling "wrapper -c
wrapper.conf" on system startup.

UNIX has cron jobs, but what exists on Windows.  I had actually looked
for something a
while back and was only able to locate a few overpriced commercial
solutions.   I ended
up having the Java program running 24x7, but with its main thread in a
wait state until the
time that the actual job needed to run.

Doing a google search on "Windows Scheduler" turns up several options
now.  A couple
have free versions as well.
