Scheduled Tasks

I'm trying to get the Scheduled Task next runtime for a script I'm
writing. I found the Win32_ScheduledJob but the scheduled tasks are
created through the GUI and as such I can not use Win32_ScheduledJob.
Does anyone know a way to get the next runtime of a scheduled task in
this instance? Vague ideas welcome so long as I can get on the right
path.

Thanks

I'm not aware of such a function but you could easily shell
out and run this command: schtasks.exe /query /list

The Win32_ScheduledJob class is for the older AT style jobs. Use the
command line SCHTASKS.EXE tool as Pegasus suggests. Or take a look at a
column and tool I wrote last year that provides a GUI wrapper to schtasks at
