Scheduler

[Guest]

I have an application that runs from a command line that i have scheduled to run every 2 hours. It just does not run, it always give me "could not start". If i go to the properties on the scheduled task and re-set the password and try running it, it will run but at the next scheduled time, it fails to start again. So i am guessing it is just not saving my password. How do i get this to remember the password and run as scheduled?

If it is failing to run on a password problem, you should see that when you
view the log (SchedLgU.Txt) from the Advanced menu. What does the log show?

Presumably, you are setting the password, then properly exiting. If not, it
would not run manually; I'm not sure from your post if your task will let
you run it manually from Scheduled Tasks.

So, presumably, there is something this program wants you to supply on the
command line for the scheduled task. I've seen this with a major AV scanner,
and the vendor's support site listed the magic switches required for it to
run as scheduled task. I would suggest that your next stop is your vendor's
support forums.
