What's wrong with using Windows Task Scheduler?

How do you expect a program to start automatically at a specific time if you do not have some type of service or daemon running in the background to monitor the time?

And then it stays open forever on an infinite loop and you just pray that it never gets closed by accident or the computer reboots?

What do we do if you start the batch file at 7:50 am. Do you want it to wait until 8 am to run any additional code in the batch file?
What do we do if you start the batch file at 8:10 am. Do you want it to run immediately? Then do you want the next instance to run at 9 am or 9:10 am?

That wasn't a yes/no question. If you start the script at 8:10, should the next instance run at 9:00 or should the next instance run at 9:10?

So do you see how this can go on and on with us asking questions. I program for a living. If you don't provide enough technical specifications we can't even begin to program such a task.
