Schedule

[Requires Professional Edition]

The Schedule window allows you to control the schedule service.

The schedule service works as a system service. It runs one task at a time. If there are overlapping tasks the service queues them and runs as soon as the previous task has been completed.

Start/Stop:

Start or stop the schedule service.

Add:

Add new schedule task.

Edit:

Edit the selected schedule task.

Delete:

Delete the selected task.

Run Now:

Run the selected task. You can use this command to test the task.

View Log:

View information about the events occurred while running tasks.

Options:

Edit options of the schedule service (see below).

If your log files are located on a network drive you need to enter your account name and password in the schedule options. When the scheduler runs as a system service it works under local service account and cannot access network without this authorization information. You also need to use full network (UNC) paths, mapped drives cannot work without manual mapping in this case.

Schedule Options

Run tasks under:

Local System account:

Run tasks under the Local System account with no user logged.

Specified account:

Run tasks under user account with the specified user name and password.

If you get the "Unknown user name or bad password" error even though you specified correct account name and password, you should try to enter the account name as DOMAIN\UserName.
