App will not run as a scheduled task

[donal.conlon]

I have a c# console app that runs fine manually, however when i add it
as a scheduled task it does not run at all.

The application takes in args, and calls another command line app.
Even if i disable the process call, it still will not run. Am I
missing something obvious?

Must be, at least I have never had this problem. Do you want to post a "Short
But Complete" program snippet so the resident cadre of Scheduled Task Experts
can dissect it and help you out? Could it be a permissions problem perhaps?

It may not solve your problem, but I find it better to call scheduled tasks from
a batch file. It keeps the call to the executable and command line portable and
lets you modify the command line without changing the call in the scheduler.

My bad,

I was including the args inside the quotes,
i.e. "c:\...\app.exe -arg test" instead of "c:\...\app.exe" -arg test

thanks!
