Why do weekly tasks created via PowerShell using a different user fail with error 0x41306

http://serverfault.com – We have some scripts that create scheduled jobs using PowerShell as part of our application. When testing them recently, I noticed that some of them always failed immediately, and no output is ever produced (they don't even appear in the Get-Job list). After many days of tweaking, we've managed to isolate it to any jobs that are set to run weekly. Below is a script that creates two jobs that do exactly the same thing. When we run this on our domain, and provide credentials of a domain user, then force both jobs to run in the Task Scheduler GUI (right-click -> Run), the daily one runs fine (0x (HowTos)

I get the following error in the Scheduled Task history when I try to run a task:

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Restart Tomcat" , instance "{264b4620-5f3b-6c5f-a6cb-1625a7fa57de}" , action "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.EXE" with return code 1.

The scheduled task is configured as follows:

Name: Restart Tomcat User: DOMAIN\tomcat.restarter Triggers: Daily

I see that Ubuntu uses /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} for cron jobs. I also see that some things, like updatedb from mlocate, put their jobs there:

$ dpkg -L mlocate|grep y/m /etc/cron.daily/mlocate

Somtetimes, I would like to disable some of these jobs (mlocate in this case). I can obviously sudo mv /etc/cron.daily/mlocate ~/cron.daily-dont-run and be over with it.

I'd like to have different backup jobs scheduled at different times and frequencies (for instance, backup my Documents folder daily, but my music folder only on weekends), or backup daily to my local disk, and weekly to my remote server. I can see only how to set up a single backup job for a specified set of folders to a specified destination in DejaDup.

I have problem on cron jobs that are still executing even after removing them. I already view all the possible cron jobs from this article. All cron config files are empty or my cron task are not present. I also came up with this command for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do echo $user; crontab -u $user -l; done.

We've just moved servers, from FreeBSD to CentOS. We have around 30 cron jobs which run throughout the day.

Since moving, it seems that some cron jobs are starting but not completing. We can see they kicked off but it's like they have timed out.

No errors in the phperror.log. Cron log shows the tasks starting.

The jobs command will list the running, stopped, foreground and background jobs or task running in the current session. Syntax

jobs [options]

The options are:

-l

Report the process group ID and working directory of the jobs.

-n

Display only jobs that have stopped or exited since last notified.

I have a group of jobs to run (a few hundred jobs) - they have a variety of command names and parameters.

Hi All,

We have one client.for this client some jobs got scheduled. Those jobs will run daily/weekly/Monthly. But once it runs it will generate some log files with date and Timestamp.

Hi all,I have a server running CentOS 6.3 and have run into a problem. I know about the change to use anacron to run scheduled jobs, but for some reason on this server it only runs jobs... [by dotmil]
