Scheduler

Scheduler is an utility for creating and managing scheduled tasks. It runs predefined jobs at specified times or in response to system events by invoking a console-based report builder and passing the appropriate configuration file to it.

Note: On Windows, the Scheduler must be run with administrator privileges.

Note: The Windows Task Manager starts the task only if the computer is on AC power. The Scheduler stops the task if the computer switches to battery power.
