However,
the Dir command always tells the truth, you just need to put it to work. The batch file shown in
Listing 8.1 will remove all of your temporary files. It??™s fully configurable and you??™ll find that it??™s
quite reliable.
Using the AT Utility Effectively
The AT utility is still useful, but many would say that it??™s outdated. If you??™re working at the command
prompt, the AT utility probably is outdated; the SchTasks utility provides more functionality. However,
the AT utility still provides good functionality for other purposes. One of the main reasons to use the AT
utility is that there are already a wealth of scripts on the Internet for using it.
Another reason to use the AT utility is that it??™s compatible with WMIC, which is more of an advantage
than many administrators realize, especially when working with Server Core. Using WMIC provides
additional flexibility over remote connections that you don??™t realize when working with the SchTasks
utility.
Sometimes you don??™t require complexity to get the job done at the command line. The AT utility tends
to be simpler to use than the SchTasks utility. Sure, all you can do is query, add, and delete tasks, but
sometimes that??™s all you really need to do.
