Description

lccDelayAction is a Command Line program that allows scheduling of tasks on a remote/local computer by adding it to the Task Scheduler on a desired machine, with a delay of the desired minutes.

The program queries the remote/local machine for its current time and uses that in adding minutes to schedule tasks.

The program schedules tasks as the remote/local machine computer account (default Task Scheduler credentials).

The program creates/overwrites a log called 'lccDelayAction-log.txt' each time it is run.
