Hotspare can be used on any Windows 2000, XP or 2003 computer. In can be used on both workstation and server machines.

There are three main components in the Hotspare application.

The script editor
This is a Windows application that allows systems administrators to edit and test scripts. Tasks can be added and removed and tested either individually or as a batch.

The task service

The console tool
This can be use from existing batch scripts and from the task scheduler to execute a Hotspare script.
