Scheduled tasks stop, have to reboot pc

[Rene Rutten]

We have application running on win2000 servicepack 4
There are some item scheduled, mostly BATCH-files, that handle
backups en other stuff.........

It often happens that the tasks just stop workin, after a reboot
all things work again, but somtimes we have to delete all scheduled tasks
and add them new ........

There are tasks running every hour, never exceding 1 hour.
some other tasks at 3:30, 4:30, 5:30 ......so it never happens 2 taks are
running the same time......

Pls help.............10 systems speak over the netherlands have this.....

Add some simple diagnostics to your tasks to find out
what's going on, e.g.:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of job 1>>c:\test.log
echo %date% %time% Start of job 2>c:\test.err
ntbackup . . . . 1>> c:\test.log 2>>c:\test.err
echo %date% %time% End of job 1>>c:\test.log
echo %date% %time% End of job 2>>c:\test.err
echo ==================== 1>>c:\test.log
echo ==================== 2>c:\test.err

Now examine your log files and all should become
clear.

that kind of things were already added to the BATCH files
for monitoring purpose..........
On Windows98 those scrips and schedular never give any trouble.......

The software in the win2000 even run in separate memory space.

Its really the schedular that messes up.........

Post these things here:
- One of your problem batch files.
- Output log from this batch file.
- Error output from this batch file.
- Relevant section from the Task Scheduler log.
- Relevant sections from the Event Viewer logs.
