schtasks to run script at set time every weekday


Recommended Posts

I am attempting to run an Autoit.exe with schtasks every weekday @ 9:05 am.

I have the below

C:\>SchTasks /Create /TN "P10Run" /TR "O:\AUTOIT\P40 Run.au3" /SC WEEKLY /D MON,
TUE,WED,THU,FRI /ST 09:05:00
SUCCESS: The scheduled task "P10Run" has successfully been created.

I also did a "test" run :

C:\>Schtasks /Run /TN "P10Run
SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "P10Run".

But when I run my query to verify success my "Last Result" seems to indicate that the script did not run:

C:\>SCHTASKS /QUERY /FO LIST /V /TN "P10RUN"

Is there something missing in my command? Also is there a better way to make sure that the script does in fact sun successfully?

Thanks In Advance!

As far as confirming your script runs as it should (or doesn't), why not use the Windows standard and write out to the Event Viewer? There are a ton of examples throughout the forum for doing so.
