[Question] How to use Task Scheduler to use the restart scripts while keeping console windows open?
Nycto97 opened this issue · 4 comments
Description
So for hours upon hours I've tried using Task Scheduler to run restart_start.cmd while also keeping the cmd window open + opening the actual server console.
Manually running restart_start.cmd DOES open a cmd window and it opens the server console when the server is launched, allowing me to input commands in the cmd console to control the server.
I'm able to wake pc from sleep and successfully run the script with Task Scheduler, but the problem is that it always launches the server without any window opening. The only place I can see the server is in Task Manager. Ending the task here will automatically restart the process so I need to go in-game every time to shutdown the server.
I've tried many things, including using /k in some places, but nothing works.
Do you have any idea how I can achieve this? Can I replace the cmd scripts with bat scripts to be able to use the /k argument?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
I found two ways that you could try:
- Use the /interactive flag in the Task Scheduler:

The last thing, that you could try, is to put a shortcut or a batch file into the auto start folder of windows.
Thank you so much! I will try it when I have the time for it and let you know if it worked :)
