Remove Old Files - Schedule It - Part 3
In previous part one and part two I described how to create and export rules from MSH Delete Files Older Than application.
In this part it’s time for auto scheduling.
Application doesn’t have built-in scheduler so we need to use the standard one from Microsoft Windows. Open Start Menu | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Task Scheduler application. Click right mouse button on Task Scheduler Library and select Create Basic Task.
Set task name, something like: Remove old files from C.
Create a Basic Task - Task Scheduler
Click Next button, I would like to remove files weekly, so select Weekly option and click Next button.
Application should remove files on each Monday at 00:00 starting from 1st of February.
Weekly Trigger - Task Scheduler
Go to the next page and leave Start a program option, on the next page click Browse button and select MSH Delete Files Older Than.exe application.
In arguments field put -f c:\data\settings.xml parameter.
Last page will show you a summary information about your settings. Click Finish button.
Now everything is set up and your operating system will be responsible of running the application on defined time.
