A system utility (e.g. Windows Task Scheduler) that automates running programs or scripts at specified times or in response to events. The Task Scheduler monitors defined triggers (such as a specific time, system startup, or other event) and runs a task when those criteria are met. In trading automation, one might use Task Scheduler to launch a bot at market open, restart services daily, or perform backups, ensuring routine tasks happen without manual initiation.
