Basically, I need a certain program to run every 10 min. or so. Is there is command line schedule utility that I can use to achieve this.

I'm assuming its for the windows command line. It's called 'at'. Check your local windows dos prompt for the right options and possibilities or look it up on this site http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...-us/ntcmds.mspx

Here are a few tips you may find useful

"At" also requires you to set a time for it to run. you can find the current time via command line too using the command "time /t"

now when setting the time in "at" remember that you have to use 24 hr time otherwise if its 7 at night and u put 7:00 it will schedule the task for 7 am tomorrow.

also with "at" you can choose wether the program starts in the background or foreground(runs the program so you can see it). to bring the program to the foreground add in the /interactive command

[edit]

oh i forgot to add, "at" runs the program as the system user. so if you scheduled to run. a cmd.exe it would spawn with system Privileges

You must be administrator to run the 'at' command however and the scheduler service must be running (it is by default).
