I have a VB program that is executed each morning at 4 AM by Task Scheduler. If the program returns anything other than a zero result, I would like Task Scheduler to run it again. The Task Scheduler sees my return code in the "Last Run Result" field, but does not invoke the "If task fails, restart every:" action.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if its possible to check on the result 0x0 if scheduler run ok or 0x1 if it did not, but within .net, I found a post here but no resolutions so I am asking again just in case I get lucky.

View 3 RepliesI have been working for some time on a service that will act as a task scheduler and perform a shutdown action at one of 3 given shutdown times. Before you cringe and ask why not use the task scheduler, I should explain that permissions do not allow users to "create" scheduled tasks and therefore a creative work-around is required. In any case, I am still new to VB, but am including my code below. I want the service to check an alarm time every minute and launch a shutdown application (in the user's context - if logged in) if that time is NOW.

View 2 RepliesI'm upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm using VB in VS 2008. Under XP, I used the Task Scheduler to run a program at 3pm every weekday, and it ran fine. Now in W7, when the Task Scheduler runs the programs, it encounters an exception when it gets to the code MyForm.ShowDialog(). The error is:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

When I run the program from a shortcut with the same parameters as in the Task Scheduler (i.e. the shortcut runs the .exe file with some paramters after it), it runs fine, so I'm guessing there is some setting in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler I need to set, but I can't find it. I've tried checking "Run with highest privledges" (and unchecking it), but that didn't help. I have tried it with the "Hidden" box unchecked and checked and that didn't help. I've also tried it with "Configure for" set either way (Windows 7 or Vista). So how do I get rid of this error?
I have set up several tasks on a new installation of Windows 7 and they are working as expected.But when I attempted to run a batch file it fails. It works fine from the command line and I can run it from the scheduler on Windows XP manually (although not on the timer yet).What is about batch files that I need to know to make them run from the Task Scheduler?

View 6 RepliesSo I wrote a VB.net project in Visual studio.I have a scheduled task that is set to run the program every morning at 10AM. If I use windows explorer and double click the application, it runs fine.If I open task scheduler, open the task properties, and browse to the application, then choose run, the program fails, due to Runtime exceptions.I know I have the path entered correctly, since I can debug the instance when it crashes from the task scheduler. VS2010 pulls up my source code.The exception is System.IO.FileNotFoundException, remember, it works fine when I double click the app. If attach a debugger to the process after it is executed from the task scheduler, I can then restart the debugger, and Voila!, The application runs fine.

I wish to develop an application in VB.NET to provide to following functionality and hope you can give me some pointers on which direction to take.I need some kind of "server" type component which sits in the background monitoring request from users and performing various task. (this component can be install locally or centrally)
The users submit an instruction to the "server" to perform a certain task at a designated date and time. (or perform the task straight away)
The "server" would perform the task at the desired date and time and inform the user the result of the task.I have thought of using a central database to which the user writes the instructions. The "server" could read from the database to obtain the instructions, and write the result back to the database.
I want a fast reaction to the instructions, so the "server" must poll the database every few seconds; I fear this may be detrimental to performance. Also how do I get the server to perform the task at the desired time? Again checking all outstanding tasks against the current time is not very efficient, so I thought about utilising the Windows Scheduler, but I am not sure of the best way of integrating this functionality.
i build a website in vb.net ... i have a table process that have a begin date and end date... in the date that appropriate i want the system automatically update the data in database...
Example :
Tabel process
ProcessName || begin || End
process A || 02/02/2012 || 04/04/2012
When the current date 02/02/2012 then update table master that processName is "process A" into active and when the current date 04/04/2012 then update table master that processName is "process A" into expired.I don't know how to create it? is anyone know about making like that?
What is the Best way to create scheduler ?
I can think two ways,
1) to create endless loop that keep checking for time of day, so if i have an event (stored in my DB) that should be execute @ 14:30 the loop will compare in every loop the current time against the DB time so when the current time will be 14:30 the event will be executed
2) the same as above just using Timer instead of endless loop.
the problem is that both methods seems to be inefficient because at least 95% of the checks will be for no use.
so is there any methods or some way in VB.NET to raise an event in a specific hour without keep checking the current hour every second ?
If i set run ProgramA to run once a month...And I want ProgramA to also run every wednesday...What if these 2 tasks coincide?is there a way to programmatically say...If the monthly run of ProgramA happens to fall on a wednesday...wait until the weekly run of the same program is finished THEN execute the monthly run of the same program..I am trying to avoid collision of running the same program on different schedules.
