Close a program using Task Scheduler

How can I close a .exe program by using Task Scheduler? Eg - is the case of NetMeter, I want the program to automatically close every day at 02:00. It can b done?

Waiting for a quick response...

Kind regards.

Ah I see.  Do not schedule the cmd.exe to run.  Taskkill itself is already an executable command.  So just plan sound directly in the program/script box:

Taskkill /f /im "NetMeter.exe.


Do not put anything in the arguments box.  When the program runs, you will briefly see to open the command prompt, the program will be completed, then the command prompt will disappear on its own.

  • Difficulties to use Task Scheduler to update the database of the program

    Hello

    I would like Win 7 Task Scheduler to cause Locate32.exe Explorer file update there database every 45 minutes when I am connected. (Locate32 can do it by itself, but must operate continuously in the background to do).  I'm obviously not in the right info, because it does not work for me. I got the details to enter another site, as I am not familiar with the Task Scheduler.

    Task field name walked - locate32.

    In trigger I select daily

    then by selecting a time of 5 minutes before present, to test works

    then, in the action, I'm selecting Start a program

    then in program/script I enter 'C:\ProgramFiles\Locate\locate32 '.

    then in arguments - U

    Usually it is a notification when I update of database Locate32. This does not occur with the scheduled task, and when I look in the Task Scheduler for tasks that have been made, this one does.

    I checked the user information is correct.

    Please could someone tell me what I should do instead? Thank you, Jay

  • Insert line in tabel DB using Task Scheduler

    Hello

    I try inserting lines containing specific data to a database table by using the Task Scheduler to IOM.

    I created the instance of tcDataSet:

    dataset tcDataSet = new tcDataSet();
    dbInstance tcDataProvider is XLDatabase.getInstance () .getDataBase ();.

    dataset.setQuery (dbInstance, "insert into" + sTable + "values ('" var1 "', '" var2 "") "");
    dataset.executeQuery ();

    This will raise the error below:
    Does not 'SELECT' query

    setQuery() and executeQuery() are for executing SELECT statements only.

    Please suggest, what method should I use here to insert values in the database table.

    Thanks in advance.

    You don't need to do something... Just use writeStatement method...

    String = 'insert into' insertQuery + sTable + "values (' var1 ' ', ' ' var2 '"). "
    dbInstance.writeStatement (insertQuery);

    Then simply remove the following 2 lines:
    dataset.setQuery (dbInstance, "insert into" + sTable + "values ('" var1 "', '" var2 "") "");
    dataset.executeQuery ();

    These 2 lines were the cause of error

  • Run a python script using Task Scheduler

    I searched on google for an answer to how to proceed, and none of the solutions have worked. I use windows 7 and python 3.7. I would like a simple explanation of what to type in the 3 spaces in the action of the task properties tab. Other solutions usually take forever to run, throwing up an error message and tell me that the task was successful, but I can say that the script never started.

    You now know how to use the program to invoke a script. Maybe as follows:

    1. Open a Console with cmd.exe.
    2. Type these commands:

    See the DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_LOG view ADDITIONAL_INFO column.

    You can also read my post. You will need to provide the cmd.exe to the JOB_ACTION parameter, but the name of the script and other command line parameters (like "/ C") should be added as arguments.

    At least that's how I ran with it successfully in the past.

    Hello syncere99,

    1. What is the user account in the Task Scheduler are you for the work you are trying to use the Task Scheduler?

    The error code indicates that the user account that was used to create the job no longer exists. This could be because the user account is deleted. I suggest that you remove and re-create a job and check if you have the same problem.
