This is what I get. I've set the WinSMP client to run as a scheduled task when my PC turns on. The problem is, that the network is working fine, I've done that thing with adding the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and when I run the client manually it starts and runs fine. I would like to be able to get this to run automatically from startup; any advice?

 

[capreppy]

Couple of things. Set it to run as administrator. I think I had the same issue when I was setting up the SMP and that is all it took.

edit: well not a couple of things. one thing

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

I'm using XP. I've set my username and password correctly in the schedule task window, so it should run with full permissions.

did you rerun install.bat? Did you get the double message at the end?

Now that I think of it (getting old and memory is going quickly), I got a similar error message when install.bat didn't run properly.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Reran install.bat again, same thing.

I just restarted my computer, and got the same error message. However, after closing the first (scheduled) process I quickly started another instance and got the same message. However, after waiting another 10 seconds, the client ran fine. So is there a way to make a scheduled task 'wait' a bit before starting?

I know you can do that with a service, but not sure about a scheduled task.

If you must have it as a task, write out a batch file that pauses for x seconds then runs F@H. My bat file skills are rusty but i know it can be done and would only take someone about 10 seconds to write it out for you.

(I still use a batch file to upload my Web stats from HFM.net)

Unless someone else have another solution?

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

How do you do that? I've searched multiple times for ways to delay commands, but I've never actually found one that worked properly.

Sadly, I can not look it up from work, but i can dig something up tomorrow.

I only have access to [H], FF, and my personal website here at my workstation. (After 1 months of asking County IT)
