window 7 task scheduler

[kiboost]

Hi,

I would like to check, clean, identify and delete or modify some tasks, adding some task to run some of my script as a task etc, all with an autoit script.

I have never, ever, used task scheduler, I understand how it works but I would need some informations on how to do this by script. An autoit UDF, or some cmd to run/shellexecute etc, any help will ... help !

Thks

SchTaksks.exe

Use it with Run().

Thanks, was looking for an integrated UDF, there is one on the forum but not optimal. Will use the old cmd method ;-)

There is some code related to the COM object "Schedule.Service" on the German Autoit forum:

hmm I dunno german at all so hard to see if it works, will try to test it.

Anyway, on the cmd version, I can't delete a task as it ask for confirmation and I can't find a switch to not ask this confirmation.

actually I query all task :

$command = 'schtasks /query'

$ReadCmd = Run($command, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, 2)

While 1

$return &= StdoutRead($ReadCmd)

If @error Then ExitLoop

WEnd

then I find taskname that interest me and finnally :

$command = 'schtasks /Delete /TN "'&$taskname&'"'

RunAs($Loginadmin, @ComputerName, $Passadmin, 0, $command, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

but it doesn't delete the task, and when doing it manually in a cmd prompt I have the confirmation asked.

Any idea ?

ok found : $command = 'schtasks /Delete /TN "'&$taskname&'" /F'

This may be of use to you. It is the start of a GUI for schtasks
