How can I set through the command prompt the option "run only if logged on"
using the schtasks facility?

Hope somebody can help,

Will

To schedule a task that runs every 70 days if I am logged on
The following command schedules a security script, Sec.vbs, to run every 70
days. The command uses the /mo parameter to specify an interval of 70 days.
It also uses the /it parameter to specify that the task runs only when the
user under whose account the task runs is logged onto the computer. Because
the task will run with the permissions of my user account, then the task
will run only when I am logged on.

schtasks /create /tn "Security Script" /tr sec.vbs /sc daily /mo 70 /it

Note

. To identify tasks with the interactive-only (/it) property, use a
verbose query (/query /v). In a verbose query display of a task with /it,
the Logon Mode field has a value of Interactive only.

Hi Mark,

I have XP SP2 but the /it option is not available to me? I even copied your
command line exactly and it rejected the /it option. I think that option is
Windows 2003 only?

Any other ideas?

It appears that switch isn't supported in XP, now why do they do that?
I'll see if I can find another way

I'm looking at exactly the same thing...

It seems you cant get an 'AT' command to run as the current user, and the schtasks cant set the "interactive" flag.

Did you find any workaround??

I know its 2 years too late, but anyway:

I have worked around this by using the windows 2003 copy of the schtasks.exe file

just copy it onto the xp machine and use it,
you can rename it if its easier eg. schtasks2003.exe and just use it in the same folder as your batch file.
I have uploaded both a 32 and 64 copy of it here:
