becraig, I don't think you can combine /SC ONEVENT with /D. The Wizard definitely does not allow that.

That is the point I am making Qlemo in the little bit of chatter beneath it:<br />

<blockquote>
First what if the task is set to trigger on the day at the time but no shutdown event is sent ?<br />
Or an event is sent but the time and day criteria are not met ?
</blockquote>
<br />
Simply stating that the options exist but would not work as expected due to the absence of conditional logic.

Thanks, everyone! &nbsp;I think I'll go with a simple shutdown task/script and ignore date and time. &nbsp;One more question: Task Scheduler will run the program, &quot;xyz.exe.&quot; &nbsp;However, doing so opens the program, but does not actually run it by, for example, clicking &quot;run.&quot; &nbsp;Is there a parameter or something that I can add to the exe or Task Scheduler to make it open the program and invoke &quot;run,&quot; so that the program actually accomplished its mission?
</div>


<div>
Of course Task Scheduler runs the application. Are talking about a GUI?
</div>


<div>
Thanks everyone. &nbsp;Yes, the program is a GUI. &nbsp;I'm in touch with the publisher to see whether I can add a parameter or something so that the opens and runs.

I know how to have Task Scheduler run a program. &nbsp;Can I set it to run a program on shutdown, and then shutdown the system when the program completes? &nbsp;Better yet, can I set Task Scheduler to run a program on shutdown, but only on certain days of the week and only after a chosen time of day? &nbsp;I'd prefer to avoid using scripts. &nbsp;Thanks.
