Dear All,

I would be grateful if somebody could help me. Please reply to me and I will post a compilation of all the replies I get to the list.

Our department has SAS installed on PC network running under Windows NT. I have a number of SAS programs, each of which takes around 24hours to run. I want to run these programs in batch mode in the background on a number of PC's on this network so that: - I do not need to be logged on to each PC - Other people can log onto these PCs and when they do their processes be given priority over mine.

If I was on a Unix network, this would be achieved by using the 'nice' command. How can I do this on a PC network running under Windows NT? Nobody in computing support here knows how this can be done.

Thanks for your help,

Jon Denne
