How to launch Windows Scheduler by command-line? [closed]


taskschd.msc is available in Windows Vista and later.

I could have sworn I'd seen a little task scheduler GUI like you're talking about prior to Vista, but maybe I was thinking of the "Add Scheduled Task" wizard.

You might have to settle for opening the scheduled tasks explorer with this command:

control schedtasks

I couldn't find any way to launch the "Add Scheduled Task" wizard from the command line, unfortunately (there has to be a way!)


I'm using Windows 2003 on the server. I'm in action with "SCHTASKS.EXE"

    SCHTASKS /parameter [arguments]    Description:        Enables an administrator to create, delete, query, change, run and        end scheduled tasks on a local or remote system. Replaces AT.exe.    Parameter List:        /Create         Creates a new scheduled task.        /Delete         Deletes the scheduled task(s).        /Query          Displays all scheduled tasks.        /Change         Changes the properties of scheduled task.        /Run            Runs the scheduled task immediately.        /End            Stops the currently running scheduled task.        /?              Displays this help message.    Examples:        SCHTASKS        SCHTASKS /?        SCHTASKS /Run /?        SCHTASKS /End /?        SCHTASKS /Create /?        SCHTASKS /Delete /?        SCHTASKS /Query  /?        SCHTASKS /Change /?    ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐    │ Executed Wed 02/29/2012 10:48:36.65 │    └─────────────────────────────────────┘

It's quite interesting and makes me feel so powerful. :)


This launches the Scheduled Tasks MMC Control Panel:

%SystemRoot%\system32\taskschd.msc /s

Older versions of windows had a splash screen for the MMC control panel and the /s switch would supress it. It's not needed but doesn't hurt either.
