Schedule Task

 

The Autorun Manager enables you to schedule any script, program, or document to run at your convenient time in a recurrent manner easily, which is otherwise hard to do through Windows Task Scheduler. For example, you may schedule to run Antivirus scans at the end of each day, defragment your disks every week etc. You may even schedule to play your favorite music at the start of each day. The scheduled task will be executed at the scheduled time without your intervention.

 

The Schedule Task tab in Autorun Manager displays a list of scheduled tasks and enables you to add new tasks and edit/remove existing tasks.

• To view the 'Schedule Tasks' interface, click 'Autorun Manager' then 'Schedule Tasks' tab. The list of currently Scheduled Tasks is displayed with the following details:

• The name of the scheduled task;

• The malware affected status of the program scheduled to run;

• The date and time of next run of the scheduled task;

• The date and time of previous run of the scheduled task.

 

From this interface, you can:

• Disable a Scheduled Task

• Enable or disable all Scheduled Tasks at once

• Add a new Scheduled Task

• View details, edit/remove a Scheduled Task

To disable a Schedule Task

• De-select the checkbox next to the Scheduled Task and click 'Apply'.

Enabling or Disabling All Scheduled Tasks

All the Scheduled Tasks in the list are enabled by default. You can disable all at once by clicking the 'Disable all' button so that you will be able to select only those items to be run on scheduled time by selecting the check boxes beside them. To enable all the items at once, click 'Enable all' button.

 

Adding a New Scheduled Task

• Click '+Add' button.

• Click 'Browse' and navigate to the application/program to be added to the Scheduled Task.

• Enter a name and a short description for the Scheduled Task in the 'Name' and 'Description' fields. After addition, the Scheduled Task will be displayed with the name entered here in the Scheduled Tasks interface.

• Select the Frequency or recurrence of the Scheduled Task.

• Once - The task will be run only once on the set date and time;

• Daily - The task will be run daily on the set time since the moment you have it;

• Weekly - The task will be run every week on the set day and set time since the moment you added it. (e.g.: If you select the Sunday for a weekly schedule and set a time, this operation will be performed on each Sunday at the specified time since the moment you added it);

• Monthly - The task will be run every month on the set day and set time since the moment you added it. (e.g.: If you select the date as 20 and set a time, this operation will be performed on each 20th of the successive months day at the specified time since the moment you added it. You can select a date between 1 and 28);

• At startup - The task will be run every time Windows is started, irrespective of the user that logs-in;

• At log on - The task will be run every time the user that has scheduled this task is logging-in.

• Click OK. The Scheduled Task will be added to the list and will be executed on the scheduled date and time.

 

Viewing Details, Editing/Removing a Scheduled Task

Clicking on a Scheduled Task in the list opens a details panel at the right hand side.

 

 

The details panel displays the following:

• The full name of the Scheduled Task;

• The user that has created the Scheduled Task;

• Details on the scheduled times and actions to be executed as per scheduled task under the two tabs 'Trigger' and 'Actions'.

• The 'Triggers' tab displays the trigger frequency and the scheduled time for the task to run. Clicking on the  button enables you to add more time schedules for the same task. Selecting a trigger and clicking the  button removes the item from the list.

• The 'Actions' tab displays the action to be executed and the application/program to be run as per the Scheduled Task. Clicking on the  button enables you to add more actions for the same task. Selecting an action and clicking the  button removes the item from the list.

• Clicking on 'Disable' stops the Scheduled Task to run on the trigger time but retains the task in the list, enabling you to enable it at a later time.

• Clicking 'Remove' removes the Scheduled Task from the list.

• Click 'Apply' the settings take effect.
