| Task Scheduler repeat task duration bug? I have a task that I want run daily, starting at 10am and repeat every 15 minutes for 6 hours. So that's exactly how I enter it in the Trigger page. The problem is the task runs every 15 minutes and continues to run around the clock. I don't understand it. I had no problem setting this task up in XP... |

| Re: Task Scheduler repeat task duration bug? Its not bug - just a change in feature. Scheduler wont care at what time the task was "supposed" to start, but whenever the task does start, it'll repeat it every xx minutes for a duration of xx hrs from THAT instant - when the task did start - irrespective of its *actual* start time. Try setting repeat every 1 minute for a duration of 5 minutes. And set the starting time couple of hours earlier than current time and manually start the task - it'll repeat itself every next minutes four more times - just as expected. I had same trouble, then I saw this : [URL="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2843/aftertriggeredet6.png"][IMG]http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2843/aftertriggeredet6.th.png[/IMG][/URL] |

| Re: Task Scheduler repeat task duration bug? I don't know if this is needed anymore, but heres a workaround : Suppose I have to run a task every 15 minutes from 8am to 8pm i'll set my clock to show time in [B]24-HRS HH:mm[/B] format from regional settings in control panel. Then I'll make a bat file that checks whether current time is between 8:00 and 20:00 hrs and put my task command there as follows @echo off FOR /F "tokens=*" %%R IN ('time /T') DO SET time=%%R set HR=%time:~0,2% if %HR% geq [B][U]8[/U][/B] if %HR% leq [B][U]19[/U][/B] goto main goto exit :main rem put your desired command(s) here rem for eg to run calculator, : calc.exe :exit rem program ends here see that 8 and 19 are bold and undrlined because i want task to run betweek 8 hrs and 20 hrs, so you can change those values accordingly. I understand that OP may not be interested at all now, given it was asked a year ago but i just googled and found so many other posts about the same topic so I guess this might help someone. |
