Vista batch for running app odd days

Question

I have read all that stuff about time saving and I wan't to create a shortcut to my IM app that won't run on odd days. It is possible in Windows Vista batch?

Answer 1

You can try using the Windows Task Scheduler

Answer 2

I'm rusty with batch files, but I think what you want to do in pseudocode is:

if %DAY% mod 2 = 0 then run

(%DAY% should return the day of the month, but remember this won't run on the 31st or the 1st, so sometimes you will be stuck without your im application for two consecutive days)
