Re: [Bug-wget] VBScript and Task Manager

[D'Amato, Paul J.]

Thanks Tim. I started with a general description in case you already had a 
document I could review. Besides, I didn't know the level of "expertise" I 
would be getting from an email to a general box.



I've attached the VBScript and I made comments on where the script is hanging.

The file extension is changed from .vbs to .txt.

Here is a screen shot of the Action in my Task:

The task is triggered each morning at 3 AM.



Please let me know if there is more information that you can use.



Thank you,

Paul

Please try to remember one of the first lectures of "software engineering":

include detailed/exact (logging) data to your bug report ! What system you are 
on (ok, vbscript --> Windows... Windows what ?), what is the error message and 
so on...



Else you just get 'guesses' like this: your PATH for executables might be 
different when running the script from your Task Scheduler.
