scedualed task issues

[Johnfli]

I have a stand alone XP machine SP3

I created a scedualed task with teh Admin account and made sure teh little
box that says "run only if logged on" is unchecked, yet it does not run.
I also created a task iin a user account that is only a member of the USER
group and it does not run even if the user is logged on. it will run and
work if the user manually runs teh task.

am I missing somethign here??

Yes, you are badly missing a spelling checker. Using it would show potential
respondents that you are prepared to put at least as much time into writing
your post as they will in responding to it. At the moment it is so sloppily
written that there is barely a line without a silly spelling error.

If you are still with me: You must post the exact job you are trying to run
and tell us what makes you think that it fails to run. Perhaps it does run
and you have not noticed. Did you check the Task Scheduler log file? You can
see it under the Advanced menu.

It's easy to know that it is not running, because what it does is the
following:

every 30 min, it ftp's the files that are in a certain directory on the
local machine, then once done, it deletes the files in the certain
directory.



How I can tell it's not working? because the files are not going to the
ftp site, and they remain in the certain directory.

Can you show us the command / batch file you use to perform the job? What
does the log file report?

 

[Johnfli]

I use script Ftp, so it isn't a regular batch file. I am not at the
computer to be able to give you the log file report. To be honest, I didn't
even know there was one. I will try to get it as soon as I can.

Open the scheduler, on the toolbar menu click on Advanced->view log.
This will tell you it ran and if it ran without a scheduler incident.
The only way to see if it does what its supposed to do is put debug
commands in the file like:
date > C:/test.txt
or
echo "I got here" > C:/test.txt

So that you can see you got to this part of the batch file and echoed
the date into the file. Or during the ftp echo the results to a file like:
ftp -s:script.txt > C:/test.txt

ftp -s runs the script script.txt

This is what I mean by debug commands, something that helps you debug
the issue. You can't see it happen, but you can sure log it to a file.

You must post the batch file you use for your FTP transfer.
