ken82m Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) I won't put you to sleep you with the code but here is the end result of it all: schtasks /CREATE /TN "MyMovies Backup Job" /RU SYSTEM /SC Hourly /ST 01:01:00 /MO 01 -TR "C:\MyMovies Back\MyMovies MAIN SCRIPT.exe -backup" If I run that from a command line the job is created. But if you go into properties the program to run is: C:\MyMovies Back\MyMovies MAIN SCRIPT.exe -backup What I need it to be is: "C:\MyMovies Back\MyMovies MAIN SCRIPT.exe" -backup I've tried different variations of quotes, no quotes, parms after quotes etc but can't get it to work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Kenny Edited December 2, 2008 by ken82m "I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains...

PsaltyDS Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 try schtasks /CREATE /TN "MyMovies Backup Job" /RU SYSTEM /SC Hourly /ST 01:01:00 /MO 01 -TR """C:\MyMovies Back\MyMovies MAIN SCRIPT.exe"" -backup" If the command shell is stripping off a set of quotes when schtasks runs, then you might also use the 8.3 short path to eliminate the need for them: $sShortName = FileGetShortName("C:\MyMovies Back\MyMovies MAIN SCRIPT.exe") $sExtCmd = 'schtasks /CREATE /TN "MyMovies Backup Job" /RU SYSTEM /SC Hourly /ST 01:01:00 /MO 01 -TR "' & $sShortName & ' -backup"' Run($sExtCmd, @TempDir) Note the single quotes enclosing the string that includes double quotes.
