[python-win32] Task Scheduler

[kimwaic888-pythonwin32@yahoo.com]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, at.exe is very simple but as I said, after the
object gets created, it doesn't run.

For example, I issued the CLI command:

at "12:30" /interactive "python.exe example.py"

where example.py is some sample Python program.

Well, 12:30 came and gone and nothing happened.

Regards,
