How do you name a scheduled task?

Guest2 · 24 Jun 2009 at 10:50

Is it possible to create a scheduled task through a .bat file that does not call it the default At1?

I have this at the moment

SCHTASKS /delete /TN At1 /F
at 10:46 /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 10

But some computers may already have a task called At1 which will be deleted.

I want something like that (this doesnt work though)

SCHTASKS /delete /TN shutdowntask /F
at 10:46 /shutdowntask /interactive /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 10

Thanks

I want to create a simple shutdown task that is named so it can be deleted again. Otherwise when you log off then back on another scheduled task is created At2 then At3...
