- DAILY.COM is a small utility that allows you to run programs from your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file only once per day. DAILY.COM and DAILYX.COM will only
- work with .COM and .EXE files! It is not able to run .BAT files.
- DAILY stores the date it runs in a file with the same name as your file
- but uses .DLY for an extension. Next time you boot your computer it
- checks the current system date against what is in last date file for you
- rprogram. If they match DAILY just exits. If they do not match, DAILY
- runs the specified program. Usage is as follows:
-
- call DAILY CHKDSK.EXE C:
-
- Simply call DAILY from AUOTEXEC.BAT. After DAILY enter the name of the
- program to run (you must include the extension - COM, or EXE) and
- then any command line entries you rprogram requires. The program MUST
- be in your specified path or you must give it the FULL path to your
- program.
-
-
- DAILYX.COM is a close relative of DAILY.COM. It performs in the same manner
- except it does not update the last date file. This allows you to run the
- same program twice ( if you needed to run a virus scanner on two drives )
- then not have the programs run again until you booted the next day. An
- example usage would be:
-
- call DAILYX CHKDSK.EXE C:
- call DAILY CHKDSK.EXE D:
-
- DAILYX reads the last date file for your program and runs or exits
- accordingly. It does not update the last date file. Then when DAILY runs
- it still finds the old date in the file, runs it's program then updates the
- last date file.
-
- If you have any comments, problems, or suggestions please contact me
- through Compuserve. Sometimes it takes a few days before I respond to
- messages but I am interested in your inputs on this program.
