Anybody have any idea how to run multiple jobs? This site briefly touches on them, to use job names, but provides no other doc. or samples. I've tried: { -start -time 00:00:01 AM -command c:\executable1.exe -action -inc 1 0 0 0 } { -start -time 00:00:02 AM -command c:\executable2.exe -action -inc 1 0 0 0 }

And also tried: { -start -time 00:00:01 AM -command c:\executable1.exe -action -inc 1 0 0 0 -start -time 00:00:02 AM -command c:\executable2.exe -action -inc 1 0 0 0 }

All I ever get is the error: -mode execution error.

I have no clue what to do.

Put all your jobs in a batchfile and run the batchfile instead.

Have WinCron call myfile.bat at the desired time and let myfile.bat contain lines with executable1, executable2 and so on...

The only problem with putting all your jobs in a batch file that gets called is that it requires that all jobs be on the same schedule. I have a job that gathers my news and mail on a hourly basis (actually, every 3 hours). I also have a job that rotates my mail log, renaming the old log file and giving it a datestamp. I'm hoping that the following will work...

{ -name getnews -start 01/18/2000 06:00:00 PM -constrain 0 0 10 0 -command c:\runme.bat -action -inc 0 3 0 0 }

{ -name maillog -start 11/14/2000 01:00:00 AM -constrain 0 0 10 0 -command c:\rotmail.bat -action -inc 2 0 0 0 }

Where getmail and rotmail are batch files that get my news and mail, and rotate the log file, respectively.

I think using names is important when you have multiple jobs in a file. I'll let you know if this doesn't work.

Yes Mark, this is the correct way to accomplish this task.

You simply put multiple jobs into a single file. (Or you can load separate files that contain the different jobs.)

The point is that you don't need to lump all your tasks into a single batch file.

I have just added a new sample to the Support Center titled "Multiple Jobs" http://www.tomasello.com/cgi-local/forum...=100&LastLogin=
