使用Windows Scheduler计划任务以运行.jar文件以及.ini配置文件

Question

I am able to run .jar using windows task scheduler but what do I have to do if I have a configuration file(.ini) in project root folder and my .jar file in project distribution folder.

In my 1st sample program without configuration file, I am executing the .jar file alone by adding -jar PathTo .jar File in "Add Argumnets (optional)" pane, the program runs fine.

But in another program with configuration file, if I execute with the same command as above, nothing gets executed. And I am assuming this happens because the argument points to distribution folder and the configuration file is in the root folder.

Any ideas/help is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Assuming you have the following file structure (and if I didn't misunderstand your description):

rootPath/
  +-- ConfigFile.ini
  +-- distFolder/
        +-- YourApp.jar

You should set task parameters like this:

Action: Start a program
Program/script: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe"
Add arguments (optional): -jar "rootPath\\distFolder\\YourApp.jar"
Start in (optional): rootPath

By this way, Windows scheduler should init your java application in rootPath directory and it shouldn't have problems to load ConfigFile.ini

Note: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\javaw.exe is my java path, just use yours of course. Also note is necessary use javaw.exe . Finally at Start in section, rootPath doesn't be quoted.
