Scheduling an exe (emoreau's example)
I've followed this code
http://emoreau.com/Entries/Articles/2008/11/Passing-arguments-to-an-application-startup.aspx
Method 2 of that link. I compiled and have an exe. I want to schedule it as a Service. Per that article, I need to pass a paramter '/batch' to have it run as a service...
When I'm in debug, I add the command line argument to "Debug" tab of properties. When I want to schedule the exe...where do I need to put the command line argument?
Thanks

are you creating your task manually in the Windows "Task Scheduler"? If so, you can add your argument to name of the exe.
or you can create a batch file with that argument and launch the batch in the task

I think I will use Windows Task Scheduler. I've never done this before tho. What do you mean adding it to the name of the exe? I know if I right click on the exe, select "properties", there's a "Target" field and I can add the paramter to end of it. Is this what you mean?
the task scheduler screens varies according to the version of windows you are using
whatever the version your are using, there is a place where you set the full path of your exe. you can add /batch at the end

Windows XP or 2000/2003 would take the switch on the same command line..
I think Windows 2008 has a place for parameters..
Same with Task Scheduler Professional..
Have a look at SCHTASKS.exe to set this up...
