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:
- Open a Console with cmd.exe.
- Type these commands:
python34.exe /?
(to get help on the syntax of the command)
python34.exe NameOfYourScript.pt

Retrieve data from a Web site by running a python script to help schedule a task
I'm under Calendar (task name - extracted) to retrieve the data every 5 minutes of a wesbsite of transport to verify respect of accidents by running a python file (incident.py) and back into a json (incident.json) file.
When I tried to run the task on the calendar, the json file did not appear.
Codes to print the result to a json file:

with open ("c:/Incident.json", "w") as outfile: #Saving jsonObj ["d"]
JSON.dump (jsonObj, outfile, sort_keys = True, indent = 4, ensure_ascii = False)

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. -

Having trouble getting a job to run using Task Scheduler
I'm using Oracle 11 g. I run a sql script that schedules a task:
When I am connected to the database, I run these commands:exec sys.dbms_scheduler.create_job( job_name => '"SYSTEM"."UCR"', job_type => 'EXECUTABLE', job_action => 'D:\UserCountReport\bin\ucr.bat', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=HOURLY;BYHOUR=3;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0',start_date => to_timestamp_tz('2011-07-21 US/Eastern', 'YYYY-MM-DD TZR'), job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS', auto_drop => FALSE,enabled => FALSE); exec sys.dbms_scheduler.set_attribute( name => '"SYSTEM"."UCR"', attribute => 'job_weight', value => 1); exec sys.dbms_scheduler.enable( '"SYSTEM"."UCR"' ); commit; exit;
However, I get no sign that the work was performed while Oracle said that all tracks have managed. The batch file that work is supposed to run creates a file and wrote something to him. However, the file is not written. When I run the command prompt batch file, it runs correctly.SQL> SELECT JOB_NAME, STATE, job_action, repeat_interval FROM DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS where job_name='UCR'; JOB_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATE --------------------------------------------- JOB_ACTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPEAT_INTERVAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UCR SCHEDULED C:\UserCountReport\bin\ucr.bat FREQ=HOURLY;BYHOUR=9;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0 SQL> SELECT JOB_NAME, status FROM DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_LOG where job_name = 'UCR'; JOB_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATUS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UCR SUCCEEDED UCR SUCCEEDED UCR SUCCEEDED
I tried following the instructions here:
Answers to "why my jobs are not running?
However, all three of these commands return errors:
I tried several other commands in this list and I get errors as well.SQL> select value from v$parameter where name='job_queue_processes'; select value from v$parameter where name='job_queue_processes' * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist SQL> select count(*) from dba_scheduler_running_jobs; select count(*) from dba_scheduler_running_jobs * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist SQL> select count(*) from dba_jobs_running; select count(*) from dba_jobs_running * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I'm not quite sure where to go here to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Published by: 874375 on July 22, 2011 09:18See 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.

I'm trying to run a vbs file using a batch file windows scheduled in the Task Scheduler in windows 7. The vbs runs under the Scheduler if the option "run only when the user connects" is checked.
When I go to 'Execute if user or not' task does not, either manually (by command file) or through the schedule.
The vbs is a project of SAS Enterprise Guide. These scripts, vbscripts worked in Windows XP.
This is the vbscript code (I don't know anything about vbs, this is generated from SAS for EXAMPLE):
Option Explicit
Dim appCall to dowork
"Stop the app
Otherwise (app IsNot Nothing) then
App. Quit smoking
Set app = Nothing

Set app = CreateObject ("SASEGObjectModel.Application.4.3")
If Checkerror ("CreateObject") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
'-----
"Open project".

Set prjObject = app. Open(prjName,"")
If Checkerror ("app. Open") = True Then
Exit Sub
End If

CheckError = False

Dim errNum
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
strMsg = "error #" & Hex (Err.Number) & + "\n" & "as" & fnName & + "\n" & Err.Description
'MsgBox strmsg' Uncomment this line if you want to be notified via MessageBox to errors in the script.

Start a PC mode closed using Task Scheduler
How can I use the Task Scheduler to start the PC in stop mode? My PC is unable to use wake on LAN as it connects to the internet via wifi due to too far from the router.
While the PC is turned off, Windows is idle task scheduler is not running, so it can't boot the PC. You can only start automatically if the BIOS includes such a function.
Some desktop computers start automatically when power is applied. This gives you the option to boot with an external clock of switching.

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
Hello
We apologize late in the response. This problem can be caused by incorrect settings.
To display hidden scheduled tasks, follow these steps:
Click Start. In the search box, type Task Scheduler. Then, in the list programs, click Task Scheduler.
On the view menu, click Show hidden tasks.
Try to re-create the task and check if it helps:
- Press the Windows key + R > type taskschd.msc and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler)
- Click with the left button of the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action on the menu at the top of the page > new folder... > name MyTasks > click OK
- Left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks)
- You can enter the name , for example "restart" and press Next
- In the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:
- Select daily and press Next
- Now, you can specify the day, time and the game to be repeated daily, after that press Next
- In the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:
- Choose start a program and press Next
- in the area of program/script, type shutdown /r and press next
- And that's all, you can press Finish
Let us know the status.
