Yikes - This doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

I sugest visiting the site http://www.egghelp.org/ for information on setting up eggdrops and http://windrop.sf.net/ for info about the windows version (windrop).

When I sais task manager, I meant schedualer.

It's not the same, because it usualy stays with the program until it finishes. As with the *nix, you can launch the program into the background, and the crontab can then finish.

Another issue, windows will do one of two things, when the schedula is due to repeat itself (I have never done it, so I don't know).

It will either terminate the old eggdrop, and launch a new one (not the best thing to do, or it will simply spawn a new one alltogether (because windows doesn't provide the same system, to check for existing processes).

You can't hind eggdrop, because it can't be registered as a windows service. Boyond that, windrops do not have a background to launch into.

The task manager will allow this, but not in the same way crontab on *nix does.

I would seriously check if your school is gonna allow you to do this.

It's impossible to hide eggdrop from regular eyes on windows, as just with most programs, a item on the taskbar will allways be there while it's running.

are you sure that it will survive logout? you'll need a 24h-online-connection... and perhaps you should check if your school allows what you want to do...
crontabs/windows: well, perhaps the task-manager would do this.

Your answer is here

eggdrop is the name of a program written in the c language to be run on UNIX/Linux systems.

eggdrop, however cannot be run on a win32 (Microsoft Windows) machine, unless it's compiled in a cygwin environment. But then, when you compile it in a cygwin environment, it loses its name of eggdrop, and gets a new name windrop.

So, you see.. you're looking for a windrop, rather than eggdrop.
