Redirecting scheduled task output to a file.
Scheduled task is very helpful, the problem that I had, I was unable to get the output of the batch process that was executed by the scheduled task.
I tried to redirect the output using > as follow:
Batchfile > C:\Batch_Result.txt
and nothing happened. I do not know why.
The solution was actually very simple, use >> instead of >
Batchfile >> C:\Batch_Result.txt
It works great, even better, whenever the scheduled task is executing the batch file, the result is appended at the end of the text file instead of rewriting it. I simply added a simple date /t command, and I know exactly my scheduled task result at any given day.
