None of the scheduled tasks are ever set to run when the computer is in standby mode. The laptop computer is closed everynight and goes into standby mode and all scheduled tasks run during the day when the computer is on.

Now I have been running RoboTask on two machines, one desktop and one laptop and the scheduled tasks only stop running on the laptop.
