- Executes DOS applications ONCE A DAY - an AUTOEXEC utility
- ==========
-
- Released - January 1, 1992

- (C)opyright 1992, All rights reserved, PC Advice
-
-
- This utility program was written to save users time by only
- running applications, like virus scanning programs, ONCE EACH DAY.
-
-
-
- SAMPLE AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- @ echo off
- prompt $p$g
- path=c:\dos;c:\scan
- 'SCAN' RUNS JUST ONCE A DAY ===> AUTORUN SCAN C:
- menu
-
-
- In a typical day, a user may re-boot his PC several times. If you
- believe scanning the hard disk each time is redundant then
-
- AUTORUN is for you!
-
- AUTORUN compares the current date to the last execution date
- of your scanner (or any application). If the dates are the
- same, AUTORUN does nothing. If these dates have changed,
- AUTORUN sets the last execution date to the current date and
- executes your scanner automatically.
-
- AUTORUN is SHAREWARE and is supported by you, our trusted user.
- Register your copy today! It is modestly priced at $6 each
- machine and $12 for each diskette that you wish for us to send
- you with our latest release (shipping and handling).

- AUTORUN USER MANUAL
-
- Files Included
- --------------
- AUTORUN.DOC This document file.
- AUTORUN.EXE The executable AUTORUN program.
- AUTORUN.CFG An initial config file for AUTORUN.
-
- Program Overview
- ----------------
-
- AUTORUN is designed to run a given program once a day. To do this the
- AUTORUN program should be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Then every
- time the computer is rebooted AUTORUN will execute. AUTORUN will normally
- compare the current date to the last execution date. If the dates are
- the same AUTORUN does nothing. If the dates are different AUTORUN sets
- the last execution date to the current date and runs the specified
- program. The last execution date is stored in the AUTORUN.CFG along
- with a special "stuck" date. The stuck date is initially 01/01/80,
- however, the user may change this by running AUTORUN STUCK=MM/DD/YY
- where MM/DD/YY is a new stuck date. The stuck date is used for those
- machines who's clock/calendars are broken and stuck on a fixed date
- other than 01/01/80. AUTORUN will find the AUTORUN.CFG only if it
- is in the current directory.
-
- AUTORUN may take three additional actions depending on the
- following situations.
-
- · AUTORUN is being run for the first time. AUTORUN.CFG will be
- built with the current date as the last execution date and
- 01/01/80 as the stuck date. The specified program will then be
- executed.
-
- · If the current date matches the stuck date, AUTORUN will prompt
- the user with:
- "Do you want to run the program XXXXX (Y/N) ? "
- where XXXXX is the program name to be run.
-
- · AUTORUN is run with the STUCK= option. AUTORUN will load the
- new stuck date into AUTORUN.CFG and ignore any other command line
- arguments.
-
- IMPORTANT! DO NOT edit the AUTORUN.CFG file with a text editor. If you
- already have and the program is not executing properly, erase the file
- and run your normal AUTORUN (i.e. with the normal arguments). This will
- rebuild the AUTORUN.CFG file with the current date. Then if you had a
- special stuck date run AUTORUN STUCK=your date.
-
- Program Usage
- -------------
-
- Usage is AUTORUN [STUCK=MM/DD/YY] PROGRAM [PROGRAM OPTIONS]
-
- Where: ·STUCK=MM/DD/YY is an optional parameter to input the
- date in which the computer is stuck on if the clock
- is dead and is not stuck on 01/01/80.
- Note! The date MUST be entered in MM/DD/YY format.
-
- ·PROGRAM is the name of the program to run upon a date change.
-
- ·PROGRAM OPTIONS are command line options for PROGRAM.
