if computer is off during scheduled time

Post by grauen_nacht »

what does robotask do if the computer is off during the time which a task is scheduled to run? does it wait until the next scheduled time, or run the task as soon as possible? i didnt see an option to set this preference.

When you turned off computer normally, RoboTask does nothing. When you will turn on the computer RoboTask will wait the next scheduled time after own start.

But when you restore the work after "sleeping" or "hibernating" modes RoboTask will launch the task ASAP if one (or more) scheduled point was missed.

if computer is off during scheduled time

Hi,
My question is slightly related to this, I think.
I have a once daily scheduled task that normally works like a dream, reanameing a bunch of files, creating a new folder and moving the files into the new folder.
Problem is that it twice now have failed after an automatic Windows update (both requireing a reboot which the server carries out automatically). The server has been up again at the time selected in the schedule but Robotask has fail to run. It has worked again the next day.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
 
best regards,
Joachim
