- GENERAL NOTICE
-
- This computer program is being distributed under the SHAREWARE concept.
- This means that you are granted license to evaluate INTERVAL for a period
- of THIRTY DAYS. Should you continue to use it beyond this time limit
- registration IS required.
-
- BENEFITS OF REGISTRATION
-
- Upon registration you will receive the current version of this program
- with all of the annoying `NAG' features removed. The registered version
- has a smaller code and runs considerably faster than the shareware
- version. DO NOT PANIC!!! This is a very inexpensive program to register.
- See the included file REGISTER.ME! for complete details on registration.
-
- WARRANTY
-
- The author makes absolutely no warranties on this software. This software
- is not even warranted to take up space on your disk!!! USE THIS SOFTWARE
- AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! The author is not responsible for any damages what
- so ever!!!!

- PREFACE
-
- INTERVAL is a DOS based program which will execute a DOS command or
- program once during a user defined period of time (measured in days).
- INTERVAL is not a TSR. It must be invoked from the command line or a
- batch file every time you wish to use it. INTERVAL has a number of command
- line options, each one must be defined before INTERVAL will run.
-
- INTERVAL was initially created to run a time setting program. Because of
- this most of the manipulation of the time and date happens after the
- event is run. This is to ensure that the next scheduled event reflects
- the updated time and date. The date handling routines will compensate
- for just about any calendar oddity (leap years etc...) Even though
- INTERVAL was created for time setting programs, It works admirably with
- DOS commands and other programs.

-
- THE COMMAND LINE
-
- INTERVAL d=[file] e=[y,n] a=[duration] i=[interval] l=[ne,nr,e,r] c=[command]
-
- EXAMPLE:
- INTERVAL d=c:\date.fil l=ne e=y a=5 i=10 c=del c:\dl\*.zip
-
- This example will delete all files with the extension of `zip' once
- every 10 days. It uses the file `c:\date.fil' to keep track of the last
- time interval ran an event. INTERVAL is keeping logs only when an event
- is run. The logs do not have a header on them. INTERVAL will give you 5
- seconds to abort an event. Interval will also set an errorlevel upon
- exiting.
-
- COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
-
- PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OPTIONS MUST BE SPECIFIED!!!!
-
-
- d= datefile to use.
-
- This option tells INTERVAL the datefile to use. If the datefile does
- not exist INTERVAL will create it. The first line of the datefile
- is the word `DATEFILE'. The second line is the date that the last event
- was run.
-
-
-
- e= enable or disable setting errorlevel upon exiting.
-
- This feature is useful if INTERVAL is going to be used as part of a
- batch file. The results are as follows.
-
- n = disabled
- y = enabled
- errorlevel = 1 if the event is run.
- errorlevel = 2 if the event is not run
- errorlevel = 3 if the event is aborted by the user.
-
-
-
- a= time delay in seconds for the user to abort an event.
-
- This feature is a value from 0 to 59 seconds. A value of 0 will give
- the user no option to abort the event. A value of 59 will give the
- user 59 seconds to abort the event. The first time INTERVAL is run
- it will not allow you to abort.
-
-
-
- i= interval to run the event.
-
- This feature is a value from 1 to 10,000. This is how often that you
- want interval to run the event. The value is specified in days.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- c= command to execute.
-
- This is the actual command that INTERVAL is to execute when it runs an
- event.
-
-
-
- l= select log status.
-
- The log file will have the same filename as the datefile. The extension
- will be LOG. As an example, if the datefile is named TIMESET.FIL the log
- file will be called TIMESET.LOG. The log file will be in the same directory
- as the datefile. The options which do not have a header on them were
- included to facilitate merging log events from several different
- logs into one master log. If you switch from an option with no header to an
- option that has a header INTERVAL will not put a header on it. INTERVAL
- only puts headers on new log files. The options are as follows.
-
- N = no logs
- R = logs every time INTERVAL is run.
- E = logs only when an event is run.
- NR = logs every time INTERVAL is run. No header on the log file.
- NE = logs only when an event is run. No header on the log file.
