I have configured a application in Windows task scheduler to run for every 5 mints.
Expected true , but the application returns false and I expect the windows task scheduler to recognise it & restart. But it's not happening so far. Scheduler keeps running.
Note : I have enabled the option "to restart if the task fails for every" as well in scheduler.
Pls let me know where do I make mistake in understanding. Thanks.
After couple of hours on trial & error, found that system event would solve the above issue. scheduler doesn't track the error code of ongoing application, rather it will only the status whether its running or not.

I am wondering if I could launch a command on a server using the server terminal without interfering with my cron job that was launched automatically 1 hour away ? The server is an ubuntu, distant, with few resources, and I am communicating with it on PuTTY.
And second asking, do you know a command to check the amount of resources used by my running cron ? This is the command I would launch on the server right now.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Valentine
PS : for the moment, I didn't try anything because it is really important that my process running with a cron succeed.
There is a scheduled task that executes a script. It was running fine until one day it started to fail with 'Task Scheduler failed to start "Task" task for user "domain account". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147944309.' It failed on a Friday, ran on a Saturday, then began failing daily after that. My research on this found that 2147944309 means the account is either disabled or locked out. I double checked the account and it was neither. Server is Windows 2012. It's an RDS server so it reboots every morning. After it reboots a warning message shows in history for the task "Task Scheduler did not launch task "Task" as it missed its schedule. Consider using the configuration option to start the task when available, if schedule is missed."
What I was able to determine:
account is not locked or disabled
account is in the administrator group on the server
permissions are correct on the script
set it to run with highest privileges
able to manually kick off the task
the task is in a folder under Task Scheduler Library
created a test task to run notepad under the same account in the folder. It did not run
created a test task in a test folder under Task Scheduler Library to run notepad under the same account. It did not run
created a test task directly Task Scheduler Library to run notepad under the same account. It ran
moved the task under directly under Task Scheduler Library.
The scheduled task kicked off for four days in a row and then began failing with the same error. Yesterday, I set the option to restart every minute three times if it fails. It didn't execute a second or third time after failing. Any ideas what the heck is going with this?
I'm troubleshooting an Selenium script that runs through the Task Scheduler on a Windows Server. It's running in PowerShell using version 3.0.1 of the Selenium module (found here:https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Selenium/3.0.1) with the Edge browser (the one with Chromium).
The "The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL [localhost] timed out after 60 seconds." error has been quite persistent and only appears when run through the Task Scheduler. The script runs fine when running manually through ISE.
Also to note, there's another script that is more or less the same as the one having the issue, albeit using a slightly different url (same site). This second script runs without issue through the task scheduler. They're performing the same sequence of actions which is why I'm not entirely sure why it would fail for one script but not the other.
I haven't found a suitable solution while looking at other posters facing the same issue. Any help is much appreciated!
I had the same issue. I tried all kinds of code changes but the only step that worked for me was to change the Security Options in Task Scheduler.
Task (right-click) > Properties > General > Switch from Run whether user is logged on or not to Run only when the user is logged on.
I guess this would be a temporary solution. I'll keep looking and update this if I find a better solution.
I have a process in windows which i am running in startup. Now i need to make it if somehow that process get killed or stopped i need to restart it again in Windows 10?
Is there any way. Process is a HTTP server which if somehow stopped in windows i need to restart it. I have tried of writing a power-shell in which I'll check task-list status of process and then if not found I'll restart but that is not a good way. Please suggest some good way to do it.
I have a golang exe; under a particular scenario my process got killed or stopped i need to start it up again automatically. This has to be done imediately after the exe got killed. What is the best way to achieve this?
I will give you a brief rundown. You can enable Audit Process Termination in local group policy of the machine as shown below. In your case, success audits would be enough. Please note that the pic is for Windows 7. It may change with OS.
Now every time a process gets terminated, a success event will be generated and written to the security eventlog.
This will allow you to create a task scheduler that triggers on the generation of this event that calls a script that would run the process again. Simple right?
Well, you might have some trouble setting that task up especially when you want to pass details about the generating event to the script. This should help you get through that.
You can user Task scheduler for this purpose. There is a option of "restart on failure" which can be selected and whenever your process get failed it will restart again.

I have several scheduled tasks performing different jobs on windows server machine at my current work, but it looks like I'm living this company soon and I have worries about these jobs future after the time when my windows account will be disabled.
Will all gonna be okey with them?
These task's can be run even if you're not there but you have configured that the Task can run "Run whether the user is Logged in or not" or else it is not possible. you can still edit it even after creating it. but I'm not sure it will work even after deleting your account.
