title: Schedule JMeter test plan to be started at a certain time
body: <p>I want to run a load test on my server. I have built couple of different test plans and I need to execute all the test plans at the same time. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using a few instances of JMeter on three different machines and I'm trying to figure out whether I can schedule my JMeter scripts to be started at a certain time? </p>
  
  <p>One way would be to run, on each of my machines, a script in which I run my JMeter test plans at a certain time</p>
  
  <p><strong>The reason I decided to not use JMeter in master/slave mode is that each of my test plans would generate a load from different parts of my application. So I need each of my JMeter instances to run a different Thread Group.</strong></p>
