Hello,
I cannot seem to get tasks to run reliably as a win2k service.
Any ideas? I like the software, but I need them to be launched reliably via the service.
Works like a charm manually, and I am logged in and have the UI open
Thanks for any help

How do you access to win2K server?
The problem is that NT service can't interact with desktop in Remote Desktop session. You can see the service green icon in tray (and main window too) only in local console.
Win2003 server have the feature to catch local session in remote desktop connection
Also, pay attention, that RoboTask service and RoboTask application have different tasks folders.
Appication mode:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\RoboTask\Tasks"
Service Mode
"C:\Program Files\RoboTask\Tasks"
Also see other topics in our forum. We discussed this problem earlier

Tasks not running / Windows 2000 service
Hello - Thanks for the info.
I did review those threads thanks. I just copied all tasks from the normal directory into the service directory, and it stilll does not seem to be working. Do I need to restart the service?
I am accessing the server via termainl services. I do not need the interactive UI, tray icons, etc. Just need the service to run the tasks.
Please confirm how to do this, Thanks

Tasks not running / Windows 2000 service
Yes, of course. RoboTask loads tasks only while starting and importing of tasks.Do I need to restart the service?
There is small trick in order to edit the tasks of RoboTask-service when service is not available from desktop. I wrote about this some earlier.I am accessing the server via termainl services. I do not need the interactive UI, tray icons, etc. Just need the service to run the tasks.
1. Set the tasks folder of RoboTask application to same folder as RoboTask Service. See menu Options | Settings. Netx, restart RoboTask application.
2. Stop RoboTask service
3. Edit necessary tasks
4. Start service again
Configured tasks must work in autonomic mode.
Tasks not running / Windows 2000 service
Hello -
I cannot seem to get event a basic task to work reliably as a service.
I have a simple task that writes date/time string to a file, each hour. It is attached, and you will see big holes in the date/time sequence.
The only time it seems to work, is when I am logged in interactively via terminal services.
What do I need to do to get this work work reliably?

Maybe output file was locked in this period. See the log file of the task. Log file have the same name as the task.
