Solve : Open a program @ night?

Answer»

Hi there,

Haven't been here in a while, been (to) busy...
ANYHOW, I've a problem with a script that I made. My OS is windows xp home.

@echo off
color 40
title BITTORRENT night downloader
>>c:/windows/torrent.bat ECHO @echo off
>>c:/windows/torrent.bat ECHO cd C:\Program Files\BitTorrent
>>c:/windows/torrent.bat ECHO "bittorrent.exe"
>>c:/windows/torrent.bat ECHO pause
:afsluiten
if exist c:/WINDOWS/afluitenpc.bat goto end
>>c:/windows/afsluitenpc.bat ECHO @echo off
>>c:/windows/afsluitenpc.bat ECHO shutdown -s
>>c:/windows/afsluitenpc.bat ECHO exit
:end
AT 00:28 c:/WINDOWS/torrent.bat
AT 05:02 c:/WINDOWS/afsluitenpc.bat
pause
exit

The problem is, (it's for downloading torrents a night), according to windows the file torrent.bat is OPENED from 00:28 till 05:02 but that file doesn't open my torrentprogramm (bittorrent.exe). However, if I open it in the windows folder, it does open the program.

Why does windows schedular doesn't open my program that should open bittorrent?

Try changing the highlighted line to: cd /d C:\Program Files\BitTorrent

Changed still don't work

If I go to scheduled task when the task should run I see under the status tab: the program could not be opened, however I'm 100% it existsWhat about QUOTES around the program path & name

cd "C:\Program Files\BitTorrent"
