You can run scheduled jobs using the Windows Task Scheduler.
Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Scheduled Tasks
Use the Settings and Schedule tab to control the execution. It is a little
tricky to run programs sequentially. I suggest you either estimate the run
time conservatively between jobs, or try specifying the computer idle for a
number of minutes before starting the next job (though the computer may
never be idle if on a network with email and virus checking).
I have used Windows 98 like this and it works OK once you get the hang of
it.
For smaller batch jobs you can use the source() command under SPlus to
execute a number of script files, though only one SPlus session is invoked.
