Scheduling time to start and end process.

[Charley]

Is there a way to set a start and end time for a schedule. I require it for using it during the DATAONE, free hours [ 2:05AM - 7:55AM ].

I can leave the comp on but it should start and end at the above mentioned time, is it possible? If yes, how do I proceed?

Also, is there an option in Win98 SE where the comp switches off automatically instead of manually pressing the button to save power after the schedule is complete.

Some download managers like ... well, flashget, or getright (dunno bout DAP) ..support schedule connect and dissconect and shutdown after complete features...

Use a scheduler like Aye Shutdown it can end any task or program and shut internet or power off pc at any given time. it is shareware.

Hey man use IDM.. internetdownloadmanager.com. It allows to set time to start download and time t o stop download... I use that..

It also has the option to shutdown the comp after all downloads in the scheduler are completed

instead of using a software, u can do this:
Open Notepad--> type this: shutdown -r t 00 --> and save it as restart.bat --> Now open scheduler and give the path to this file and set the time wenever u want to start this operation.

Well the thing is u will have to keep ur computer switched on for this to happen.

You can give any name to the file and 00 is the time u want yo show warning for that the computer is shutting down. Then with a time gap of say 5 minutes, start the download managers/bit-torrent clients that u download with and u r done.

If u have 2 or more user accounts, u can use MS tweakUI to force a particular user to log on. The u can disable the automatic user log on again in the morning. Hope this helps you.

Sorry, I couldnt follow u. I want to set the time for 2:10 am[start] and 7:50 am[stop]. It should shut down precisely at 7:50am as that completes the free usage for each day. What should I do?

Also comp has to shut down automatically at 7:50 am.

used for Kazaa d/l's and u/l's.

OR

Can u set a file and send me so I can add it here?
