Hi

what should happened if there is a scheduled task to a given time and in
that time the PC is off ??

will the task not work at all??

Is there a way to ask a task to run on specific time and if the PC is off to
wait till its on and then run the task ??
 
It can't happen if the machine is turned off. Set up two tasks with the same
target. One on some schedule, the other on computer startup or user logon.

That is not good for me. I do not want the task to run on every
startup/logon but only if the task did not run on the original requested
time.

Thank anyway.
 
Still doable but you'll need to do some programming. When your task
completes you could write the date/time stamp to an Access database. Then
when the computer startup have the task query the database to see if the
last run time is in or out of bounds and act accordingly.
