Windows Cron Jobs

[michaelsteib]

Dear all

I have the same problem as here with Win 7, 64 bit.

running this perl script manually the emails are being sent and received:
/OTRS/OTRS/bin/PostMasterMailbox.pl

C:\otrs\CRONw\Crontab.txt:

Code: Select all

MAILTO="root@localhost"
20 0 * * 0  C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:/otrs/OTRS/bin/otrs.DeleteCache.pl --expired 
30 0 * * 0  C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:/otrs/OTRS/bin/otrs.LoaderCache.pl -o delete 
*/10 * * * *    C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:/otrs/OTRS/bin/otrs.GenericAgent.pl -c db

35 * * * *  C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:/otrs/OTRS/bin/otrs.UnlockTickets.pl --timeout 

C:\otrs\OTRS\bin\otrs.Cron4Win32.pl creates a new Crontab.txt file

C:\Windows\system32>perl C:\otrs\OTRS\bin\otrs.Scheduler4winInstaller.pl -a install
Failed to add 'OTRS Scheduler' service
Error:The specified service already exists.

Basically what I think: This cronW job is not running in the background. "net start CRON" provides me this error message: The service name is invalid. How can this be started / installed?
I appreciate any help!

Thanks and best regards
Michael

hello again,

I would appreciate any kind of help to this topic. My questions: Where can I see the whether the cronW is installed correctly or not or if it is running or not? Does anyone has any information to this?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
Michael

I'm using W7 too , you can check at the services and you should see the Cron Service running.
