The task scheduler in windows never stop running my script.

Mikasa

Hi all

I have made a script to daily report a Html file. I am using Task scheduler in windows 10 to run the jsl every day. I have

to Action: "C:\Program Files\SAS\....\14\jmp.exe", location: "C:\....\myscript.jsl"

I have closed all tables in the script and put Quit("no save"); at the end, but the job is running for ever with no result and stopping.

Has any one a solution or any clue?

Thanks

Your filename does not appear to have any extension at all, "C:\Users\a...\OneDrive". That looks more like a folder name than a .JSL file. If it is actually MS OneDrive files-in-the-cloud, someone else may be able to help better than I can.

From my experience, if the script runs outside of the scheduled task, then I would check the following:

Permissions. Does the scheduled task have the same permissions as when running JMP interactively?
File location. Are references to files correct? Maybe the default directory is different when running the scheduled task than when running manually?
Preferences. Are the JMP preferences the same when running the task compared to when you run manually?

Another possibility...does the script exit JMP?

I would suggest starting with a "hello world" type script and get that to work as a scheduled task. You can then progress to your current script.

If you run your script from a CMD window, does JMP produce the results and shutdown correctly? From the prompt, you should be able to do this:

The echo command just makes a very short file, then JMP runs it. I see JMP open for a few seconds, then goes away.

You can get the correct path to JMP from the desktop icon properties. Mine (above) is not the usual path. And looking back, I should look up quit() in the scripting index and see what it expects its parameter to be...

I've never done that in CMD and I tried but it does not recognized the command
the path for my JMP is
C:\Program Files\SAS\JMPPRO\14\jmp.exe
the script is in another path

The spaces in the filenames (Program Files) may be why it did not work. You'll probably need quotation marks similar to what you showed:

"C:\Program Files\SAS\JMPPRO\14\jmp.exe" "C:\....\myscript.jsl"

Another question: after the scheduler starts JMP, and JMP doesn't stop, what do you see in the JMP log window?

Thanks @Craige_Hales

It can be run in CMD perfectly.

Task scheduler does not give me any log file since it does not stop running.!
