Console App - Scheduled Task - Text File

[User 9123917]

I have created a console app where it will finally create a text file. Everything run well when I run the program manually but not when I used scheduled task to run it. Anyone know the reason?

You haven't described what goes wrong, so how can anybody guess what could be the cause? Have you run the program in the debugger?

When run with scheduled task, .exe run properly but it doesn't create text file as writen in codes. It run well and a text file create when I run it manually.

Maybe it is a permissions issue. Is the scheduled task running as the same user as when run manually? Have you attached a debugger to it when it's run as a scheduled task?

You DO have an exception-handler that catches and logs unhandled exceptions?

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Does the task scheduler display an error code next to the task when it runs? Also, check the Application event log around that time and see if there are any errors (although as Eddy mentioned, it's a very good idea to catch any exceptions and log them for later debugging - but the Event Viewer might display the exception as well).

Also make sure nothing else has the text file open when the scheduled task runs.
