I have to deploy some Perl automation scripts on a server. But to schedule them I am using Windows Task Scheduler. I have a .bat file in which I have written the command
perl scriptname.pl
Provided the .bat file and script are in same directory which is in D: drive. But the task scheduler always triggers and then gives error that previous instance is already running.
I don't want to override the instance but I cannot see any instance running. Also the script is a selenium script and I am not seeing any browser window which I generally see when the task is triggered by the Scheduler.
The script is working fine on excuting the .bat file directly.
In my power shell script(task_scheduler.ps1) when runs in a system, it creates a daily task in task scheduler. This daily task is to run another power shell file (action.ps1) in the system.
Now I would like to convert task_scheduler.ps1 into an exe file. Since this file accesses action.ps1 file, I tried giving the same as "dependency" in Power GUI (while compiling script).
Now, the task is getting scheduled. But the task is not running the action.ps1 file. As the file is not present in the specified path.
How shall I get the path whether the dependency ps1 files get saved?
I want to create and run task in windows task scheduler using powershell commands.
I have a script and want to schedule task for this script only by using powershell commands not by gui interface.
Please provide a solution as soon as possible......
I would use schtasks.exe. No need to reinvent the wheel. You can either import from an XML file or create it from the command line.
Just because you're using Powershell doesn't mean everything you're doing must be with a cmdlet or .NET objects. Indeed, many things you'll want to do aren't even exposed in .NET. You'll need to use Win32 or COM objects to get them done.
I've managed to run the script from the command line thinking that i could possibly use windows Schedule Task to run it, but it doesn't run command prompt or anything. When i go and check the task it says it completed. Im running windows8. Any help would be appreciated.
You can make a .bat file to execute your sikuli sript. .bat files can be scheduled with Windows 8, but you may need to schedule that task as SYSTEM or as the admin.
If I am having MoveIT execute a batch file, which then executes a powershell file. Is there a way for powershell to tell moveIT that the entire powershell script was successful without having to create another file?
I don't know what this MoveIT is, but the Powershell script should be able to do a exit 0 (for a successful completion) and the batch file can do a exit %errorlevel% to communicate success or failure. Using exit codes is the standard way of communicating success or failure while executing scripts.
Sounds like MOVEit Central "command line app" script is being used to launch the bat file. If the bat does nothing else, consider launching the ps script directly, or even better port the ps script to VB and import as a custom script.
What you can do is when power shell completes the job, create an acknowledgment in the folder and setup additional condition on moveit to watch the creation of acknowledgment file. I hope MOVEit Central Advance task creation should be more appropriate.
