Check if script is running from TaskScheduler


 Share

Recommended Posts

I was trying to find a way to check if process is run manually by loged in user or by TaskScheduler.

I find this example:
https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Snippets_(_Windows_OS_)#IsDeskTopLocked.28.29
 

but this is not what I looking for, so I decide to ask here.

How to check if script is run from TaskScheduler ?

I Just need to know if it is run as a task scheduler job.

@mLipok, sorry for the late reply. i encountered this issue a while back, and found the most appropriate answer here.

excerpt:

Instead of trying to guess how your program was executed, you should have the launcher tell you how they are executing your program. You do this by registering a different command line for each of the scenarios, and then checking for that command line in the program.

EDIT: i would add also, that for me what makes the difference is the user account under which the exe is run. if it's a scheduled task and i configure it to run as SYSTEM, and otherwise it would run under the logged-on user account, that makes a difference for the exe functionality, and is also easily detectable.

 

@Danyfirex, would you mind explain your logic? i see you query the task scheduler to determine the full path to the exe of the checked process, and compare it to the info you get from the process itself. but the fact that they are identical does not necessarily mean the running process is scheduled, it could mean the user double-clicked the same exe in the same path - which is probably the only place in the system where that exe resides.

then you check that the parent is svchost.exe - i know it runs and manages running services, including the task scheduler, but is it the parent of a scheduled task? do you have any reference for that?

OK, just stumbled upon an approach that might just work.

first, you need to enable the event log that is in charge of the tasks scheduler:

Event viewer \ Applications and Services Logs \ Microsoft \ Windows \ TaskScheduler \ Operational

(on my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. other versions of Windows might have it somewhere else)

highlight that log, then Actions > Enable Log.

once that is enabled, let your script query this log (start with most recent entries) and look for Event ID 129. the description of it reads something as follows:

Task Scheduler launch task "\au3\au3@task" , instance "C:\au3@task.exe"  with process ID 4028.

if your script process ID (@AutoItPID) and full path (@ScriptFullPath or @AutoItExe, i don't know what's the difference) both match the event description, then your are scheduled! :)

B.T.W. i checked it only manually. i used au3@task as an example for a scheduled task, then i checked the processes list to see its the same PID (4028), that is listed in the event description.

Hello. @orbs yes. I check for each process and check parent process ( svchost.exe is the parent for any task (As far I tested)) and task path=processPath. All this is based in my own (5 minutes) testing. It does not mean it's strictly right. But you can check by yourself running same exe one by task scheduler and the other manually and you will see that it match only the scheduled one.

I think is better to use mLipok's method.

Here is my example/solution:
 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
;~ http://www.fixitscripts.com/problems/script-to-check-if-task-in-windows-task-scheduler-has-run
;---------------------------------------------------------
; This sample enumerates through the tasks on the local computer and
; displays their name and state.
;---------------------------------------------------------
; mLipok:  This sample was modified to show how to check if Running Program is run by TaskScheduler
;---------------------------------------------------------


If _Example() Then MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION, 'ATTENTION', 'This program is run from TASK SCHEDULER')

Func _Example()
    Local $bIsRunFromTaskScheduler = False

    Local $strerrors = 0
    ; Create the Task$service object.
    Local $service = ObjCreate("Schedule.service")
    $service.Connect()

    ; Get the task folder that contains the tasks.
    Local $rootFolder = $service.GetFolder("\")

    Local $taskCollection = $rootFolder.GetTasks(0)

    Local $numberOfTasks = $taskCollection.Count

    If $numberOfTasks = 0 Then
        ConsoleWrite("No tasks are registered." & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Number of tasks registered: " & $numberOfTasks & @CRLF)

        For $registeredTask In $taskCollection

            If $registeredTask.State = 4 Then
                ConsoleWrite("Task Name: " & $registeredTask.Name & " is running with PID: " & _TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid($registeredTask.Name) & @CRLF)
                If @AutoItPID = _TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid($registeredTask.Name) Then
                    $bIsRunFromTaskScheduler = True
                EndIf
            ElseIf $registeredTask.LastTaskResult = 0 Then
                ConsoleWrite("Task Name: " & $registeredTask.Name & " is all ok" & @CRLF)
            Else
                ConsoleWrite("Task Name: " & $registeredTask.Name & " has Problems" & @CRLF)
                $strerrors += 1
            EndIf
        Next
    EndIf

    If $strerrors Then
        ConsoleWrite("You have problems at least " & $strerrors & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("All OK" & @CRLF)
    EndIf

    Return $bIsRunFromTaskScheduler
EndFunc   ;==>_Example


Func _TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid($sTaskName)
    Local $service = ObjCreate("Schedule.service")
    $service.Connect()
    Local $runningTasks = $service.GetRunningTasks(1)

    For $runningTask_enum In $runningTasks
        If $runningTask_enum.Name = $sTaskName Then
            ConsoleWrite("Running Task PID:" & $runningTask_enum.EnginePID & @CRLF)
            Return $runningTask_enum.EnginePID
        EndIf
    Next

EndFunc   ;==>_TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid

 

btw.
There is no need for #RequireAdmin

:)

 

EDIT: REMARK: in this example I intentionaly not use AutoIt BestCodingPractice (VariableNames) , my intention was to show how to convert some part of code from this:

Nice. Just another way for fun.

 

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>

Aha.

Few days ago I was trying to do this with the same concept as you was provided, but I was using _WinAPI_GetParentProcess() only once :), so I have no positive efects.

@mLipok,

your example at post #10 does not work for me. i'm in the process troubleshooting.

@Danyfirex,

i found (using Process Explorer) that the parent of a task is taskeng.exe, and its parent is svchost.exe (Windows 7 x64). so your solution at post #11 works if i change it to:

Func _IsStartedByScheduler()
    Local $iPID1 = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess()
    Local $iPID2 = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess($iPID1)

    Return _WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID1) = "taskeng.exe" And _WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID2) = "svchost.exe"
EndFunc   ;==>_IsStartedByScheduler

@mLipok,

no COM error.

i added some logging to your function, like this:

Func _TaskScheduler_IsStartedByScheduler()
    ; Create the Task service object.
    Local $oShedulerService = ObjCreate("Schedule.service")
    _Log('$oShedulerService = ' & ObjName($oShedulerService))
    $oShedulerService.Connect()

    ; Get the task folder that contains the tasks.
    Local $oRootFolder = $oShedulerService.GetFolder("\")
    _Log('$oRootFolder = ' & ObjName($oRootFolder))

    Local $oTasks_coll = $oRootFolder.GetTasks(0)
    _Log('$oTasks_coll = ' & ObjName($oTasks_coll))
    _Log('$oTasks_coll.Count = ' & $oTasks_coll.Count)
    If $oTasks_coll.Count = 0 Then Return False

    _Log('@AutoItPID = ' & @AutoItPID)
    For $oRegisteredTask_enum In $oTasks_coll
        _Log('task name = ' & $oRegisteredTask_enum.Name & ' ; task state = ' & $oRegisteredTask_enum.State & ' ; task PID = ' & _TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid($oRegisteredTask_enum.Name))
        If $oRegisteredTask_enum.State = 4 And @AutoItPID = _TaskScheduler_GetRunningTaskPid($oRegisteredTask_enum.Name) Then
            Return True
        EndIf
    Next

    _Log('no match')
    Return False
EndFunc   ;==>_TaskScheduler_IsStartedByScheduler

where _Log() is simply a call to FileWriteLine() with a prefixed file name.

the result (log stripped of the other tasks it found) - the mismatch highlight in red:

$oShedulerService = ITaskService
$oRootFolder = ITaskFolder
$oTasks_coll = IRegisteredTaskCollection
$oTasks_coll.Count = 6
@AutoItPID = 1408
task name = au3@task ; task state = 4 ; task PID = 5204
no match

 

the PID of the script and the PID of the task are different. in Process Explorer i can see why:

au3@task.png

it seems the query returns the PID of the engine (taskeng.exe) running the script, not of the script.

any thoughts?

@mLipok the error is that in Windows 7 $oRunningTask_enum.EnginePID returns the PID of the parent. In windows 10 returns the Task PID.

@orbs You right in windows 7 is diferent (I wrote the code in Windows 10. Its diferent) Here is an Updated code that works in Window 7 and Windows 10

 

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>


If _IsStartedByScheduler() Then MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION, 'ATTENTION', 'This program is run from TASK SCHEDULER "Schedule.service"')


Func _IsStartedByScheduler()
    Local $iPID1 = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess()
    Local $iPID2 = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess($iPID1)
    Return StringRegExp(_WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID1),"taskeng|svchost") and StringRegExp(_WinAPI_GetProcessName($iPID2),"svchost|services")
EndFunc   ;==>_IsStartedByScheduler

 

Saludos

ah, yet another one of Windows 10 "improvements"! :'(

so this means that whichever method we work with the Task Scheduler should be thoroughly tested on every version, edition, update and architecture of Windows.

that's just great.
