Adding commands to the jobs

Each job has a series of commands associated with it. The commands associated with a job can be displayed by using the type command:

C:\> schedule type/commands \demo\a\update_b

\demo\a\update_b

REM these are the commands for update_b

C:\Program Files\balance_account.exe
C:\Reports\run_report.bat
C:\updates\update_program.exe

The commands are entered in the job property page as in the following example:

The success or failure of a job is determined by checking the terminating status code of the job. This status code is obtained in different ways depending on how the job terminates.

2. Enter "dir c:\windows"
3. Click OK
4. Repeat Steps 1 - 3 on Job2 but instead of entering the dir command, enter "ver"
