You have a scheduled task that runs every 30 days and you cant wait 10 more minutes for it to run? Do you know how anal retentive that sounds? lol...the program is suppose to be one file that runs automatically at boot not wanting the user to do anything manual so waiting 10 minutes is irrelevant a...

Ok, try this, i hope that what you need There will be no check.bat or other batch files, just one. Put that batch in the start-up folder or in the registry, and when it runs it do the following: Check to see if a log file exist: [+] IF not that means it is the first time and it will create a log fi...

I am tapping out on this one. I have no idea what you are trying to do and why. If you are recreating the scheduled task which you can do by using the /F switch to force it then you might as well build an XML file to set the "Run task if it was missed" option. The Scheduler service polls ...

Remember Task B when it runs gets re-created and thus Check.bat must take that into account This confuses the hell out of me. Are you saying the executable that Task B runs recreates the Scheduled task? If that is the case then it would also have to delete the previous scheduled task. Which makes n...

I have a suggestion, You don't set a specific time the task run in every 30 days, then why you don't just skip the task scheduled, it make too many troubles, you can't take the query as it might be different from system to other like xp and 7 and you must make the exe file create some sort of a log...

I'm not really sure about your needs- but you can try this. It does: - get the current Julian Day - get the last stored Julian Day from a .sav file, build one if it not exists - check the difference between today and the stored Julian Day - if the difference is greater than 29 it might start your t...

Well as long as someone is willing to placate you that is fine. I tend to do things as efficiently and with as little effort as possible. Have you determined how we are going to know if your program.exe ran? Does it create a log file for us to check the date? Since this an automated deal efficient ...

I want to see, if my date function works for you, so: please post the output from this code: echo off&setlocal for /f "tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /v sShortDate^|find "REG_SZ"') do set "ssShortDate=%%b" reg add "H...

I'm not needing help with task settings or task Those things are fine My posts are about the Check.bat I want to write Let me reiterate I'm using the startup task only as a measure if computer was off when 30 day task was suppose to run So the start up task runs Check.bat and it somehow through date...

Thanks for the description. How do you run your program every 30 days? By task scheduler? I have the code to create both tasks One runs at startup schtasks /create /tn "Task A" /tr "%SystemDrive%\Check.bat" /sc onstart /ru "" >NUL The other every 30 days schtasks /crea...

Are you running task B as a scheduled task every month? What do you need to do? Please clarify. Task B runs every 30 days not monthly since months are uneven in Gregorian calendar. Task B runs a program I need to run exactly every 30 days Problem is if computer is off when Task B should run it does...

Hi, happy to be here 3 Parts: 1. Task A - Runs at start up and triggers Check.bat to run and check if it has been 30 days since Task B has been created 2. Task B - Runs once every 30 days 3. Check.bat - Has code that detects if Task B is 30 days past the day it was created otherwise Check.bat exits ...
