I'm using AT service in NT 4.0 Server(SP5) to run Rbase 6.5 Windows to
perform a automatic backup and verification routine.

I'm setting the AT this way:
Option 1
at 21:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S "d:\bat\autoback.bat"
Option 2
at 21:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S cmd /c "d:\bat\autoback.bat"

but not both at the same time!

Autoback.bat is like this:

rem rename current rbase.dat to rbase.cur to hold normal login settings
rename d:\newdixie\rbase.dat rbase.cur

rem rename rbase.bak to rbase.dat for automatic backup settings
rename d:\newdixie\rbase.bak rbase.dat

rem start rbase
start "Rbase Backup" /dd:\newdixie /high /wait rbg65.exe

rem rename rbase.dat to rbase.bak to hold automatic backup settings
rename d:\newdixie\rbase.dat rbase.bak

rem rename rbase.cur to normal login settings
rename d:\newdixie\rbase.cur rbase.dat

exit


The rbase.dat is the normal login startup and the rbase.bak is the
autobackup routines.

I can run the autoback.bat at the command prompt(window) and it runs fine.
But if it is run from the AT command(using either options above) it hangs
and does not complete the batch file!  Rbase remains as a process but not as
an application in task manager.

Does anyone have any suggestions or alternatives???   The client wants to
eliminate the human element for running this routine.(their people can never
remember to run this each afternoon before they go home)

Thank you,
Best regards,

Oma Cox
