Run a batch file with windows task scheduler

Question

I have a batch file daily.bat, this is the code:

cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\infoweb\factuur\cron

c:\PHP\php.exe -f ./cron_pdf.php

ftp -s:ftp_upload.txt ftp.infoweb.be

And I created a task with task scheduler in windows 7. When I run the batch manually, everything goes fine, but when I try to run it with the task scheduler nothing happens.

My action is 'run script' "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\infoweb\factuur\cron\daily.bat"

UAC is off and I am Admin.

Any idea why this is not working?

Thanks

Answer 1

ok it is working now this is what I did, you probably won't need all these steps to make it work but just to be sure try them all:

• Check the account parameters of your scheduled task and make sure they are set to run whether or not someone is logged into the machine

• check run with most privileges/rights

• Make sure you go to the full path first: cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\infoweb\factuur\cron

• Don't use double quotes in your batch files (don't know why but seems to help)

• Be super admin, enter 'Net user administrator /active:yes' in command prompt, log out and log in as the super admin, so UAC is off

Thanks guys

Check the account parameters of your scheduled task and make sure they are set to run whether or not someone is logged into the machine and the password is saved
