That would be a good plugin for NSIS.
Do you think it will be made?

Job could be done using updated system plugin (as soon as exehead will be updated too, for plugin look at "Exehead & Ole" thread). I've included source file with function and use example (since it will be hard to extract information from this page

Usage:

push "My Task"
push "My Task Comment"
push "c:\Working Dir\My Task Program.exe"
push "c:\Working Dir"
push "My Program Args"
; what that's structure means? look thru attached nsi file, that's information tooks to many place
push "*(&l2, &i2 0, &i2 2003, &i2 9, &i2 3, &i2 0, &i2 0, &i2 0, &i2 9, &i2 0, i 0, i 0, i 0, i 2, &i2 1, &i2 0x2, &i2 0, i 0, &i2 0) i.s"
Call CreateTask
Pop $0
MessageBox MB_OK "CreateTask result: $0"

Realization and TIME_TRIGGER structure description are at attached nsi file.

first example???? I've posted only one...

Oh. you mean at.exe.

To utilize second one (it will work at win95-winxp) you'll need the latest CVS (as soon as Kichik will update it for compatibility with system plugin .

So... All together: KICHIK! KICHIK!! KICHIK!!!

well i still didn't understand second example, but i have a question with the first one. By default this command line
'at.exe 9:00 /every:monday "c:\test.exe"'
gives a name for the scheduled task "at1". is it possible to give job different name?

For the second one you need the latest CVS version. As for the name of the task with the first one, if to believe to at.exe /?, you can't.
