How can I run an .exe on my local machine at random programatically?
 

I know some of you are pc geniuses.

What I want to do is run a program on my local machine (not a server) X times per week at random. NOT linked to startup, I never turn the machines off.

Anyone know a program / solution? :helpme

if the random part of your requirements isn't necessary, you can use 'scheduled tasks' in the control panel for xp to run .exe

not sure how to do it completely random though

This works but not randomly for anyone else that wants a solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569 - windows scheduled tasks.

thanks jetjet, our posts crossed.

batch file programming

might wanna clean it up a bit :)

@sleepy = (120..1200);
while(1){
system("foobar.exe");
$foo = $sleepy[rand(@sleepy)];
sleep $foo;
}

gfy fucked up :)

Batch file programming with a sleeper command (ie: sleep on unix).
