How do I capture the output of a script if it is being ran by the task scheduler?

Solution 1:

Try this as the command string in Task Scheduler:

cmd /c yourscript.cmd > logall.txt

Solution 2:

To supplement @user2744787's answer, here is a screenshot to show how to use cmd with arguments in a Scheduled Task:

Scheduled Task cmd output to logfile

Program/script: cmd

Add arguments: /c run_with_default_port.bat > IMQuantWebServices.log

Solution 3:

With stderr (where most of the errors go to):

cmd /c yourscript.cmd > logall.txt 2>&1

Solution 4:

The >> will append the log file, rather than overwriting it each time. The 2>&1 will also send errors to your log file.

cmd /c YourProgram.exe >> log.txt 2>&1
