Creating a Service to Start Task Scheduler

Windows

Task scheduler of Foresight Analytics Platform can be automatically started on Windows OS startup without logging in the system. The task scheduler can be installed to any local network server as a Windows OS service.

A Windows OS service is an application that automatically runs at Windows startup without a user being logged into the system.

To create a task scheduler service, start the command line under administrator and run the following command:

sc.exe create PPScheduler binpath= "C:\Program Files\Foresight\Foresight Analytics Platform 9.2\Scheduler.exe" start= auto

Where:

NOTE. If there is no space between the parameter (binpath or start) and its value, for example, start=auto instead of start= auto, the operation fails.

The following message is shown if the command has been successfully executed: [SC] CreateService: success.

To start the created service, run the following command:

net start PPScheduler

The following message is shown if the command has been successfully executed: The PPScheduler service is successfully launched.

To delete a task scheduler service, run the following command:

sc.exe delete PPScheduler

The following message is shown if the command has been successfully executed: [SC] DeleateService: success.
