==== Auto Launching AREV from Windows NT (AREV Specific) ====

<QUOTE>
My client has ARev 3.0 operating on a Windows NT server.  We have Arev on the Server open for background indexing.  Since tape backups only seem to backup closed files, I have set up a routine within Arev to auto logoff from the workstations at 11:00 pm.  Then we start the backup at 12:00 midnight.  Everything is fine, except we need to have the indexing AREV at the NT server on after the backup.



I would like to be able to auto logoff of the indexing AREV at 11:00 pm (which I can do), backup, and then auto logon the indexing AREV after the backup is finished.



It seems that there are programs available to set up macros to launch programs at a particular time, but invariably, I can't seem to locate them now.  Does anyone have a suggestion on a reliable way to auto launch AREV at a preset time?

<QUOTE>Thanks.  I realized that W98 has a task scheduler, but couldn't find a similar program on NT.  Thanks again
