Use soon.exe, a utility from Microsoft to do just that. It is available off
a Resource Kit or for free if you poke around MS's site. I use it to run a
script every hour, by calling soon from within the script to reschedule
itself.
ie my $reschedule = `c:\\soon.exe 3600 c:\\scripts\\sieb_srv.bat`;
Actually Andrew, if you like cron and prefer that to "Scheduled Tasks" and
"AT" you could always install cygwin. http://www.cygwin.com/
With Cygwin you get an editable crontab with the added bonus of having a
real shell and Unix/Linux utilites.
Cheers,
Carter.

Hi:
Both AT and Scheduled Tasks are able to do this, at
least in Win2k. You didn't specify your OS...
With Scheduled Tasks, just open the task, click on the
"Schedule" tab, schedule it "Daily", and then click
the "Advanced" button. Check off "Repeat Task" and
fill in the values in the boxes belo

Actually its not Advanced Tab, I mean to say in the Schedule tab there is an
Advanced button. Click that and I feel you can do what you wanted to do.

In the "Scheduled Tasks" you have an advanced tab where in you can mention
the how many times or interval that you can repeat.
See if it helps.
