Script to monitor scheduled task
Hello,
I´m working on monitoring scheduled tasks in different windows servers. Is there any script that I can use to do this?
I´ve found an example but I´m not sure if it works because I don´t know the arguments.
Thanks for your help

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("schtasks /query /fo list /v")
strHold = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
strHold = Replace(strHold,Chr(10),"<br> ")
WScript.Echo "Message:" & strHold
WScript.Echo "Statistic:0"

Hi, thanks for your reply,
In fact, the script will be running from a central server and I want to query the remote servers.
The information that I want to see is the status of all the scheduled tasks that I have on all the remote servers, for example if a task execution was successful.

Hi billprew,
Thanks as always for your help.
You are right, the number of jobs is very high if I want to monitor all of them, and the load of the servers may be impacted.
Let me explain what I want to do:
We use Solarwinds APM to monitor our critical apps, and for those apps that don´t have specific processes or services, we use custom vb scripts that can be imported into the monitoring tool, such as the one of the example.
We have applications on 2 servers like Jboss that run only by *.bat files that are started all mornings by scheduled tasks, and those .bat processes can´t be monitored remotely one by one from the monitoring tool, we only see one process and can´t see the individual status. Directly on the server we can check the status of the jboss processes in the server with a cmd screen for every process (around 15). The fact is that we don´t know when a problem occurs on one process until it´s too late, and we have had a lot of problems because of that. So, the easiest way that we found is checking the scheduled tasks that run those .bat processes, but I don´t know if there´s is a more appropriate way of doing it.
There are 2 remote servers: one main server and one that is the backup.

No new replies. Found the the solution here at the company
Will you be processing a list of servers or individual servers?
Will you be running this on each server, or running from a central server and want to query the remote servers?
