Hello friends

I am looking for a free task scheduler which can do the following:

1. Launch a program at a specified time.
2. log on to Internet at a Specified time
3. Log off from internet at a specified time.
4. Put the PC in Hibernation at a specified time.

I know about XP's built in scheduler, but this can not log in to internet and neither it is able to put PC in Hibernation at a specified time. Moreover, the timer in Windows Task Scheduler can not time events in fraction of seconds, it can only schedule by fraction of minute.

So is there anything out there? :confused:

System Scheduler(free) + Auto Power On Shut Down( free on some sites ;) )

Google for both. You get the best functionality with this combination.

Read the tuts section of the forum... there are a couple of threads on automatic 2 am downloading. Get the software from there, but I still feel these are the best.
