Hello,

I would like to use the Scheduled Tasks feature, specifically the Execute System Command Task Type.  I have a vbscript file that removes directories from a directory within the wwwroot of a site.  I want it to run every morning at 2:00am.  I cannot seem to figure out what information to provide to get it to run and I could not find any information pertaining to the Execute System Command Task Type.

When I select Execute System Command, I get a form to enter a Server Name, Executable Path, and Executable Parameters.

I enter the server name (tnwww01), the path (s:\HostingSpaces\Dominos\dominos.throttlenet.com\wwwroot\removeTempAttachments.vbs), and no parameters.

I save the task and then try and run it.  The directories that were supposed to be removed are not.  But I ensure that the script runs perfectly when I execute manually.

Any help in using the system scheduler would be most helpful.

Thank you

Hi marbesan,

If you need to schedule script run you need to type the following into the path field: cscript.exe //NoLogo s:\HostingSpaces\Dominos\dominos.throttlenet.com\wwwroot\removeTempAttachments.vbs. Then try to run task in order to ensure it works.

I'm having difficulties getting this to work.

Audit log is reporting this >System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified.
when i use the format in the excuteable path field; cscript.exe //NoLogo E:\hostingspaces\scripts\myscript.js

and> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
when i tried with C:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo E:\hostingspaces\scripts\myscript.js

Any clues as to what i am doing wrong?

Many thanks.
