Sorry if this or similar has been asked, and I hope I'm missing something stupid and this is easy, but. How do I make a task using the schtasks /create command that will start say every day at 7 and repeat every hour either indefinitely or for the duration of a day?
If I do
schtasks /create /tn "test" /tr "\"C:\Program Files\test.exe"" /sc HOURLY /mo 1
it will only trigger if the specified date and time are hit.
If I do
schtasks /create /tn "test" /tr "\"C:\Program Files\test.exe"" /sc DAILY /mo 1
it will only trigger once a day.
Thanks in advance!
Figured it out, Repeat Interval is essentially what I needed along with duration
Below is how to schedule something to run at 7:00 every day every 1 hour for a duration of 1 day.
schtasks /create /tn "test" /tr "\"test.exe"" /sc DAILY /st 07:00 /f /RI 60 /du 24:00
Windows 8.1 has this example in the help. There is an HOURLY switch too.

"ABC" to run calc.exe every five minutes from the specified
start time to end time between the start date and end date.
SCHTASKS /Create /S ABC /U domain\user /P password /SC MINUTE
/MO 5 /TN accountant /TR calc.exe /ST 12:00 /ET 14:00
