I'm trying to upgrade 400+ PCs to the latest version of IBM iSeries

V4R4M0. I have a written a batch file that changes the Source Directory
& Checks the Silent install box. The challenge I'm running into right
now is scheduling the update to happen on a Saturday when no one is
logged into the PC. (and only when no one is logged in) what is the
best way to accomplish this? The batch file (or I could easily write a
VBScript) will be executed via a login script. any help is appricated
thanx


Why don't you run it via the scheduler late at night (under a machine
