On Win2008 R2 - Is there an interface I can go to, or a command I can run, to export the history of one particular task from Windows Task Scheduler? I'll even take all the tasks and then filter the results. The best I can come up with so far is to search in the Event Viewer, using the Event Log C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler%4Operational.evtx for the task in question, and record by hand the time of day it stopped.
Thanks,
Dan
I found logs for Task Scheduler in
C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler%4Operational.evtx
When I double click on the file it opens the Event Viewer in that file.
Also, opening the Event Viewer from Administrative Tools I can drill down to Event Viewer >> Applications and Services Logs >> Microsoft >> Windows >> TaskScheduler >> Operational to view the logs I would see from the Task Scheduler Library.
hope this helps -
Alan
With the release v0.19.0 of the Windows Exporter (maintained by the Prometheus Community), you can export Scheduled Task metrics, which can then be scraped by a monitoring solution of your choice (Prometheus itself i.e.) if that's an option for you.

What is the last run (0x8000808c) code mean in the windows task scheduler?
I checked all the references here but this code doesn't exist.
I have no idea if the task was successful or not. The event history shows it was successfully executed but the data related to it doesn't reflect to it.
This code (0x8000808C) is because the program or script that the task calls did not run correctly, the suggestion not only for this error code but for all others is to use the Event Viewer.
Open the Event Viewer, in my case the task ran an application so I opened Event Viewer, expanded Windows Logs -> Application, searched for the application name and there was the error, in my case the problem was with the ASP.NET version Core Runtime.
I have a window based application (c++) with list of log files;
number of logs would vary.
When each of the listed log file(each has different name) is double clicked a window pops up.The success criteria here is the successful opening of window on double click - this is to verified for each log file
How can I automate this process?
I would look into a program like Winium. It is a Selenium-based tool for testing windows apps. For further info, check this out: https://github.com/2gis/Winium
An alternative could be an Robotic Process Automation tool (RPA) like UIPath. It is not a testing tool per se, but it can be used as such and get your job done. There is a free community version available. Here's a link: https://www.uipath.com/
I need to schedule the execution every day of a PDF report, I managed to schedule the execution of a job.
Thanks in advance.
I managed to do it, using Pentaho data integration and the Windows Task Scheduler.
If someone needs to do it, tell me.
You can use 'Start' object in 'Job' and double click to set schedule times.
your transform :
start -> get_transform -> end
if you want use windows scheduler use pentaho kettle or carte and start in windows scheduler .
I have some scripts I'd like to run each morning at 6am. These scripts produce some pdfs of graphical output into a file: foo.pdf
I'd like my system (let's say Win 7, >= R 2.13) to email me these pdf's once the system has finished running the scripts.
Which is the best package - and most robust way of setting it up - to have these reports emailed to me directly via attachment from R?
Are there any 'cool' extensions to this (like sink() -ing report text output into the body of the email)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
You can harness the power of a package that can handle emails coupled with a chron job. On Windows 7, I've achieved something akin to this using Windows Task Scheduler. Basically, you set it to run a particular script at a specified time.
I have a script running daily, and had lots of problems to get it to run. Take a look at Roman's link for the attachment and R code first. This is about the non-R part in Windows 7.
I had problems running the R script directly from Windows Task Scheduler, so I scheduled a batch file to run every day as follows:
#echo on
"C:\Rpath\R-2.15.1\bin\i386\Rcmd.exe" BATCH "C:\filepath\filetorun.R"
That's about the simplest you can get, but Quick R was a starting point.
Depending on your computer's settings, you might have to fiddle with the task scheduler. If it's a server type that's always on, then you shouldn't have too many issues (and you know what you're doing). If you have to log off and use a password to login or access a shared drive, you'll have to do some of the following. Also, I don't know if admin rights is a necessity or not.
Open Task Scheduler, make a new task, and open its properties window.
Under General, check the user account and select "Run whether user is logged on or not" and UNcheck "Do not store password." This will allow your script to run if you're logged off (I don't think it works when Locked). When you click Ok, it will ask for your password.
Basic setup: The Trigger is "On a schedule" and Advanced is Enabled. Under Actions, select "Start a program" with the Program/script as the .bat file.
Under Conditions, uncheck "Start the task only if comp is idle" and check "Wake the computer to run this task." Under Settings, check "Allow task to be run on demand," check "If the running task does not end..," and at the bottom, select "Stop the existing instance." These options might be necessary, though I'm not as sure about these.
Another trick is if your company has you switch passwords every once in a while. Open and close the task after changing so that it asks for your password again. Enter the new one or else it can't log in and won't run your script.
Looking at what's running and nothing jumps out.
Thanks!
It should be w3wp.exe
EDIT: In line with Darren's comment, you should also check the "Show processes from all users" in Task Manager if that is where you are looking for the process.
Just to add something here, process explorer comes in handy when trying to track down a process:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Beats task manager hands down and can be substituted.
make sure you have show all processes checked (in vs)
Furthermore if you need to look at the .NET/unmanaged stack just donwload Process Explorer and look at your w3wp.exe processes to examine memory and other stats without having to do a remote/local debugging (just look at the .NET Tab on the properties of the process). It will show all the .NET performance counters for that particular process.
Awesome tool!
Using TaskManager should show you the process W3WP.exe is the IIS worker process, if you have multiple instances adding the Column "Command Line" will show you which Application Pool is being hosted on each of them in the -ap switch.
Also, in the IIS Manager UI there is a "Worker Processes" feature that if you double click that you will see the list of processes, Memory and CPU they are consuming, and double clicking the instance will show you the list of executing requests on it, really useful when trying to figure out a "misbehaving" request.
