I've recently got a summer job with the local utility company.  Recently,
the LAN manager in my department has been asking me a lot of questions,
and upgraded my status levels due to the knowledge imparted.  (I'm a
Systems Analysis major in college).

They are beginning to install Windows on several pc's in the LAN.  Anyways,
before the manager leaves each day, he runs a batch file which copies
a different autoexec.bat and config.sys file to the current names,
and reboots his pc.  These new files monitor the time, and at 22:00 
(10 pm), they begin to backup the LAN server to a tape backup device.

He wants to know if there are any such programs that run in the Windows
environment that at a certain time can execute a certain task.  I don't
think this would be too hard to do for the Windows environment.  The
program could be icon-ized, and constantly checking the time.

If you know of any programs that would assist us, please post or
email.  It's a Novell LAN.  Thanks in advance.

Andrew
