Scheduled Task Problem

Running Win 2k SP4

This past weekend the Scheduled Tasks started hanging on my server. They
start when they are supposed to, but the status staus at 'running' and I know
they are not running because the data they move is not getting moved.

I have recreated several of the jobs and the same thing happens. If I run
the programs from Explorer, they run fine. The Job scheduler is using my
user name to run the jobs as I am when I run them from Explorer.

Is there a way I can turn on a logging feature to see what is happening?? I
there a way to actually see the program window when the Job Scheduler fires
off the app??

The programs are all Visual FoxPro and have been working fine for a long
while now. All the required files are in the folder where the EXEs live.

HELP!!!!

TIA,
Larry..

Odds are your OS is in a FAT32 partition. You will have this trouble
every time the time changes and Windows adjusts the clock.

Reset passwords once for each user in the Mstask GUI. IOW if you
have 100 JOB's running with 5 different usernames, you need to
open one JOB for each username and reset the password.
