# Periodically-Launching Applications

Argus can launch external applications and commands of system interpreter periodically.

Attention: executing commands of system interpreter are supported in Argus for Windows NT and Windows 2000 only. In Argus for Windows 95 and Windows 98 is possible to launch executable files only. Nevertheless, BAT-files and system interpreter commands are able to execute by passing them directly as a `command.com /c` arguments, eg.:`c:\windows\command.com /C myfile.bat`
