Any way to kick off scheduled build remotely?

I know that Finalbuilder server would be the ultimate solution, but not sure I can convince my company to pay for it.  (they're very cheap)

I have a FB 6.0 build job setup and scheduled in the task scheduler to run daily, but on occaison, the build needs to be run at an unscheduled time by someone else.  Is there any way that I can allow someone other than me to kick off the scheduled job remotely, from another machine?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

If you are using running Windows Vista / 2008 you can use the “schtasks.exe” command line utility to force a scheduled task to be executed on the remote machine, the command line will be:

schtasks.exe /Run /S [hostname] /U [username[ /P [password] /TN [task_name]

If you are running an earlier version of windows then you may need to look at using something like PsExec to execute the process on the remote machine.

Regards,
Paul.

P.S. I’ve moved your post from the Automise forums to the FinalBuilder forums.
