In the Linux world, the simplest way is to use a Cron job. There is no Cron in Windows. There is however Services, but that seem to be a lot of work. What is the simplest way so a set of commands will run every 5 min or so?
To be more specific, the commands I need to run consist of moving some files, and updating a database. Possibly written in C# so it’s slightly more complicated than just a BAT script.
Task Scheduler is probably the best way to go, though an alternative is http://cronw.sourceforge.net/
It runs as a system service and only requires perl.
