Scheduler: Viewing Results

Previous  Top  Next

The Scheduler does not show a summary of results in a window after operation like the other user interfaces, but it has other powerful features that allow you to monitor the success of the operations.

Logging

On the second page of the General Preferences window you can set the Scheduler to log actions into a file called schedlog.txt, which will be located on the same directory as the executable. You can also choose to log only errors and limit the size of the log file.

You can use the log file to determine whether the scheduled tasks have been processed successfully and what errors may have occurred. A log file could look like this:

11:43:11: Scheduler starting.

20:33:58: Assignment finished (H:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Recent\).
