stuck with a strange prob

[hansraj]

1. first is my schedular service is not starting becoz of which iam unable to schedule so many things... i cant figure out why
2. i know the command for starting the applications from the batch file but what is the command for closing the applications???

i need suggestions as i have poured all my knowledge but cant do it...

 

[SE><IE]

I don't know about first part. perhaps a repair can help. Maybe there is an easier way out too .

Moving to closing the applications. Its TASKKILL /IM <process name>
e.g. TASKKILL /im winamp.exe

Type taskkill/? at command prompt for more info.

thanks buddy for solving my second issue..... now only one is left

Well taskkill is not the best way to close any app ..try nd toubleshoot the Task Scheduler issue instead, here are some basic must check :

Make sure Event Log Service is set to automatic and running.
Click the Log On tab, select the Local System Account and Allow Service to Interact with Desktop options, and then click Apply.
Make sure that the Read-nly attribute is not set on the Schedlog.txt file in the %SystemRoot% folder.

^^ Check whether the Task Scheduler service is enabled or not...

To do that, go to Start--->Run and type "services.msc"

1. Make sure Event Log Service is set to automatic and running.
2. Make sure RPC Service is set to automatic and running.
3. Under service Properties click the Log On tab, select the Local System Account and Allow Service to Interact with Desktop options, and then click Apply.
4. Make sure that the Read-only attribute is not set on the Schedlog.txt file in the %SystemRoot% folder.
   
5. Try starting the Task Scheduler service now ... in case it still fails let us know the exact error message.
