When you're running it on Windows 2000, are you using the AT command, or are you using the Task Scheduler GUI?  Also, are you sure it works fine with single backslashes in the system call?

When you're running the second part, you should be using single quotes or double backslashes.

 

system("c:\\winnt\\system32\\net.exe send mkhan Test");

 

or

 

system('c:\winnt\system32\net.exe send mkhan Test');

Be careful,
 
system("c:\somewhere\test.bat");
should be...
system("c:\\somewhere\\test.bat");
I think.
 
Have you try with AT /interactive to see the batch in interactive mode and
perhaps see the error displayed ?

Yes, you can send the message form a Win2k server.  Another thing to check
on the scheduler thing:  Try making a batch file with this in the contents:
 
  set > c:\set.txt
 
Then check set.txt, and make sure that c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows
system32 is in the path.  Net is not an internal command, it is an exe.  I
suspect that the system environment has been changed somehow.  Anyway, you
can do what you were trying to do by changing your batch file to:
 
c:\winnt\system32\net.exe send moin test

well, i tried all methods that everyone mentioned but it didnt work, still
confuse when i directly run the script from a command prompt its work, and
when trying from Win 2000/NT schedular it didnt. anyhow, I use the
Win32::Message extension to use the same thing as mentioned in Roths Book.

Roth, I have a question, can i use that extension to send message from win
2000 server, or i only send message from NT?
thanks,

I think the problem is the missing path in
         system("test.bat")
unless test.bat is in the same directory as the Task Scheduler.

So, add the path in e.g. system("c:\somewhere\test.bat");
