3-

Now schdule first script in Windows Task Schduler to run daily every one hour or 30 minutes

4- some people like to use symcfg with -i option  ( i prefer not to do that )

-without -i , you make window schduler run script every one hour , but with -i you make schduler run at startup and command will repeat itself based on -i value

---coz with -i  option , symcfg process will be running all the time , which consume more cpu,.ram , resources ... without i , symcfg process will be excuted once then Die , will be reissued every hour ( if Window schduler hourly for this task)

--with -i , output will appear in cmd (DOS) windows and incase someone by mistake close the Dos window , then you need to re-run the taske form Window Task Schduler or , create another script to make checkpoo.bat run in background

below 4th script so checkpool,dat run in background if using -i option

3rd script background.vbs , in that case in Windows Task schduler , you add this script which will call chekpoolwithI.bat and run it in background

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run chr(34) & "D:\script\checkpoolwithI.bat" & Chr(34), 0

Set WshShell = Nothing
