Wget and Vista Task Scheduler

First post on this forum.

I am implementing a task in Vista Task Scheduler to download a mirrored to an FTP site using wget.

Now, I installed wget and execute the following at the command prompt:

wget ftp://myUid: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * m

The site files are downloaded successfully to the location where the command line starts (C:\Users\MyName).

However, nothing happens when I try to run as a scheduled task:
Action: start a program
Program/Script: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Arguments: /c "wget ftp://myUid: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * m.

Or it works with the following argument:

Arguments: / c "F:\path\to\file\scheduled_backup_cmd.bat".

The last execution result is always 0 x 1, which means as far as I KNOW, the task completed successfully, but I don't see all the files downloaded on C:\Users\MyName.

What I am doing wrong? Any comments much appreciated.

A.Fraile,
If your script does not work, it is fair to task scheduler does not work properly, try this link that explains the new functions / commands in the Task Scheduler Vista which is different from that of previous versions of Windows:

  • Vista Task Scheduler - task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    I have a whole series of these messages everytime I open Task Scheduler.  More precisely:. AD RMS rights policy templates (manual) management. AD RMS rights policy templates management (automated). SystemTask. Microsoft-Windows-DiskDiagnosticResolver. Microsoft-Windows-DiskDiagnosticDataCollector. TMM, LPRemove. NAPStatus user interface. ConvertLogEntries. RACAgent. WSHReset, and ScheduledDefrag.  The problem started after I did a Vista repair install to solve a problem of Windows Update.  I tried setting SceduledDefrag, but apparently did not get it quite right since now my computer wakes up from hibernation and runs, she was much more often than it should it work as expected.  I could easily fix the problem if I could find a complete list of the tasks that Vista installs as default values (i.e. the conditions, the name of programs run, etc. for each installed task so I could remove the damaged copy and re-program the originals). or, better yet, a copy of the uncorruped file task I could download and install.

    Hey someotherguy_812,

    Because I don't know what programs they work with and without having to look at the computer, it is difficult for me to give you a direct answer. But I can provide resources that seem they could be very useful:
    First of all, this article describes the tasks scheduled in a default installation of Windows Vista. so we must do well in giving you an overview
    In addition, if you use the quick order to schedule these tasks, this article should be good reading. It covers files damaged during the event planning.
    I hope that it allows to get to the answer you're looking for. If you still want to post what you have learned, we would be happy to keep trying until we have solve it for you.
    Thank you!
  • Is it possible to rename an existing task in Windows Vista Task Scheduler Library, in the computer management console?

    The 'Name' field seems to be greyed out on existing tasks, even if the other attributes of these tasks can be changed.

    Hi Casey,.

    Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forum.

    Want to know how to rename a task into task schedular, I suggest that you try the steps mentioned below.

    a. in the Task Scheduler, highlight the task in question.

    b. click on export and choose a location to save the file (office is as good a place as any).

    c. click Save.

    d. in Windows Explorer, navigate to the location where you saved the file.

    e. you can then rename it as usual. Back in the Task Scheduler, click the import job.

    f. navigate to the renamed file.

    g. click OK.

    h. now highlight the original task (do not forget that there are now 2 tasks, one with the original)

    name and one with the new name), then click on remove.

    Hope the helps of the steps.

    If you have any questions/comments more on Windows post on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  • Task Scheduler has stopped working

    This message is displayed every time that I plug in an external display on my Dell D430 laptop device.  My Microsoft wireless keyboard stops working, like the mouse.  The display used to propose automatically sized correctly, but now it doesn't either.
    This also happens when I use the docking station.  Sometimes, the USB ports do not see my external devices that occur, as well.

    JimPuerto,
    There is a task in Task Scheduler called TMM (Microsoft transient multi-monitor Manager).   Try to go into the Task Scheduler and disabling TMM (Microsoft transient multi-monitor Manager).

    To access the Task Scheduler in Vista, go to the Start Menu and type Task Scheduler in the search box.  In the "Task Scheduler Library", select Microsoft-> Windows-> MobilePC.   "TMM" right click and select "disable."  You will need sign out and then sign back in to make the changes take effect.

    Please post back and let us know if this solved your problem.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Added Scheduled tasks are
     
    "C:\Windows\Tasks" where C: is the drive where Windows resides.

    You shouldn't have to deal with tasks that have been added to the default Windows ones.

    Tasks need to be added and removed in the Task Scheduler, although the backup registry
    using Restore Points create should work. This is because each is assigned a SID.

  • What happens when Task Scheduler is scheduled to wake the computer from sleep mode

    I have the windows vista Task Scheduler to wake the computer from sleep to run a command script. some tasks in the script work correctly and some do not. This is because the computer is "awake from sleep", whatever that means. This is not what is happening, because the tasks that the batch script runs when the computer is actually on, with display and all are very different tasks, it runs while the computer gets "awakened from his sleep", so what happens exactly when the task schedler wakes up the computer of mode sleep under vista? How is it possible to emulate a real awake state with the Task Scheduler to a State of sleep, according to a schedule?

  • Task Scheduler: run as the user who just logged?

    I'm trying to implement a task in Vista Task Scheduler, and I want a task to run after a user connects (easy enough) and run as one coming from connect - that is to say use the user account of the person who just logged on, not a specific predefined user account.

    Can I do this?
    I want to do this is because I want to send a notification that "user X comes to connect."  I'm trying to get the information of the user for example 'whoami' or username, but if the task is scheduled to be executed by using a predefined user account, then you get just the username of this user account preset, not the user name of the user who just logged.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hi drmrbrewer,.

    For your information; It is not possible to schedule a task to send a notification on the connection to the account through Windows Task Scheduler.

    Check out the following link to learn more about Task Scheduler in Windows vista.

  • How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

    The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

    As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

    'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

    When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

    Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

    The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

    I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

    Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

    To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

    I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

    How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

    Hello

    Restoring the system end up with any error message?

    This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
    You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps-
    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.
    If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility
