Scheduled Tasks - multiple schedules don't work

[Guest Adoyt]

I've got a scheduled task configured to run every 10 minutes every day.

However, it only runs 2 or three times a day. When it runs, it completes

successfully, I just can't get it to run every 10 minutes. Should I be using

the command line for something like this? I did the original configuration

through the GUI.

 

******Advanced Scheule Options ******

Repeat Task (checked)

Every: 10 minutes

Duration: 11 Minutes

If taks is still running, stop it at this time (Checked)

******Advanced Scheule Options ******

 

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't make much difference as far as GUI vs CLI. Are there any

related errors or warnings in the event logs? Is it possible it's a

problem with the task? e.g. If the application that is run in the task

doesn't work unless some other conditions are met, maybe those other

conditions aren't being met.

The duration is the number of hours in the day during which

the tasks should run. If you want to run your tasks once every

10 minutes, starting at midnight, then you must set the

duration to 24 hours, not 11 minutes. If you want them to

run once every 10 minutes, starting at 7am and ending at

7pm then you must set the duration to 12 hours.
