[gui-talk] Windows Task Scheduler

[Doug Lee]

I think this one might be easier from VBScript or Javascript, but a
batch file can probably do it if you have a program to run from the
command line that will download one or more files into designated
places.  WGet and Curl, both available in Cygwin but possibly for
native Windows as well, can do that sort of thing for ftp and http
downloads at least.  RSync can do this for at least ssh connections.

I have a very thorny problem and I am curious if anyone on this list can help.

I am attempting to do the following.  I want to use windows task scheduler to trigger a batch file to download 4 different mp3 files, each once a day and place them in four different directories. At the end of the day this process should be done again writing over the previous files four times a day at specific times 7 days a week.  This process should occur without human intervention once it is started.
Can this be done?  I've attempted to write the batch file under the command line under windows xp.  So far there's no joy.  any suggestions?
