Active Task Manager

I recently had the opportunity to test out ATM - a compact automaton tool that helps you manage your frequent tasks and run them unattended. This software is perfect for those who need to get work done quickly and efficiently without having to keep an eye on the system the entire time.

One of the main benefits of ATM is that it can start up .exe, .bat, and .com files with ease. It can also shut down the system and display text-sound reminders at scheduled moments or manually. This feature is particularly useful if you need to run tasks while you're away from your computer.

The flexible scheduling capability of this software is impressive. You can set time intervals between the consequent starts of a task or specify exact start times within a day, week, or month. Additionally, you can set process priority and a CPU affinity mask for a task to ensure that it runs smoothly.

Another great feature of this tool is its ability to run as a Windows service. This means that scheduled tasks will be run even if you're logged off your computer. The tray icon menu is also a nice touch, as it allows you to start any task manually.

If you need to integrate other applications with ATM, you can do so via ActiveX Automation. This software occupies minimal system resources, ensuring that it won't slow down your computer.

Overall, I found ATM to be a reliable and user-friendly tool. Its ample documentation makes it easy to get started, and its flexible scheduling capabilities make it a great addition to any productive workflow.
