Running Last.FM as a Scheduled Task in Windows 7?


Question

Hi, I have Last.fm set up to run as a scheduled task so that it can act as an alarm clock every morning to get me up for work. I have the task set to quit after 10 minutes however.

Nonetheless, even though I have the task set to quit in task scheduler, the task currently does not quit. It simply minimises to the system tray. Is there a way to make some kind of batch file, or script, that would issue a command to tell Last.fm to quit cleanly after running for 10 minutes?

If so what would that script look like?

Also can I create a scheduled task that will run on some days, but not on others, say on every weekday Monday to Friday, but not on weekends?

OK I figured out that the command to quit Last.FM, or any running task is Taskkill /F /IM program.exe . But how do I put that into a script that will run and kill the task 10 minutes after starting?

Also I figured out that putting a task on a weekly schedule allows you to pick what days it will run, so you can run it on Weekdays, but not weekends.
