通过 Windows 调度程序运行 python 脚本不起作用

Question

I am trying to automate a python script through the Windows Task Scheduler but its not working. At the end of my python script. two CSV files should be created but they arent.

I tried the following: 1. Copied the address of my python.exe to Program/Script.

C:\Program Files\Python35\python.exe

2. In the Add arguments, i put the name of my file

Historical Aggregation.py

3. In the Start in (optional), i put the path of my python script

C:\Users\myname\PycharmProjects\Project1

Am I missing something

Answer 1

To simplify, we can create a really short .bat file, that will only receive the necessary command to run your python script.

To do so, try this:

Create a executePy.bat file in the same folder than your Python file (C:\\Users\\myname\\PycharmProjects\\Project1), with content:

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Python35\python.exe" "Historical Aggregation.py"

Then, on your task scheduler, simply schedule a test with Program/Script:

"C:\Users\myname\PycharmProjects\Project1\executePy.bat"

Leave Add Arguments and Start In in blank. Now, your task should be ready to run.

Another approach would be to set fields as:

1. Program/Script - your python path (with quotation marks):

"C:\\Program Files\\Python35\\python.exe"

2. Add arguments - full file name of the script, including it's path (with quotation marks):

"C:\\Users\\myname\\PycharmProjects\\Project1\\Historical Aggregation.py"

I had a very similar issue, and solved it in a different way. Here my step by step guide:

1. Transform the python script to an .exe, using in the DOS cmd prompt the command:

   pyinstaller -- onefile [name of the file.py]

2. Place the CSV file that you want to update in the same folder as the .exe file created

3. Create a basic task on Windows Scheduler, with the following properties:

   • General - select

     • Run whether user is logged on or not
     • add the PC password. For my PC, use the user name DESKTOP-M40FS79\\dario and the PC password
     • Run with highest privileges

   • Triggers – select

     • Daily
     • Repeat task every 30 minutes
     • Stop task if it runs longer than 15 minutes

   • Actions

     • Under Program/ Script insert the path to your .exe file, for instance, C:\\Pythondata\\dist\\test.exe
     • Under Start in (optional) insert the path to the directory where the CSV and .exe files are, for instance C:\\Pythondata\\dist\\

   • Conditions - select

     • Start the task only if the computer is on AC power, and make sure you have connected the power
     • Wake the computer to run this task

   • Settings – leave the default options

4. Save the task by inserting the password

5. Leave the task status on “Ready”

Good luck!

I have a problem with the task exiting.. It runs, but then it says "task is currently running". It's a 1 second python script... should run and end.. I'm using this for code:

C:\temp\python\file.bat

and it's content is:

@echo off C:/Users/benjune/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310-32/python.exe C:\temp\python\ben\file.py

It's scheduled to run every 5 minutes, and should finish really quickly. Should I use an exit or something after that?
