Commands, Scripts, and Third Party Tools

Besides its built-in Tasks, VisualCron can run any program, Windows command or script, at a set time or when a Trigger fires. This section is for anyone who wants to automate work that has no dedicated Task, with the commands that ship with Windows, a scripting language, or a program from another vendor. Most of this work runs through the Execute Task.

To suggest a command, program or utility that works well with VisualCron, use the contact page.

This section has three parts:

• Commands and Batch Files: run Windows commands and batch files
• Scripts: choose a Task for each kind of script, and run PHP and VBScript scripts
• Third-party tools: run programs from other vendors, such as NirCmd

For new scripts, consider the PowerShell Task. Microsoft has deprecated VBScript.
