Unattended processing can be also achieved via system scheduler task. Task Scheduler is a component of Microsoft Windows that provides the ability to schedule the launch of programs at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals (e.g. each 2 hours), as specified in "Interval" application setting. It also supports calendar and event-based triggers, such as starting a task when a particular event is logged to the event log, or when a combination of events has occurred.

Actions that need to be done if a task fails can also be configured. The actions that can be taken in response to triggers, both event-based as well as time-based, not only include launching applications but also take a number of custom actions. Task Scheduler includes a number of actions built-in, spanning a number of applications; including send an e-mail or showing a message box.
