Invoke the macro even when a user is logged off or Windows

Post by jalls » Fri Dec 06, 2002 6:45 pm

The FAQ says:

"For basic macros that don't need to do any GUI automation simply schedule the macro via Macro Scheduler's command line interface with the Windows task scheduler (or AT). This will invoke the macro even when a user is logged off or Windows is locked. Therefore, there is no need for a service version of Macro Scheduler's scheduler. Why re-invent the wheel?"

Can you give more specifics as to how to use the "Macro Scheduler's command line interface"

Thanks on advance,

Tony

In essence you just do this:
