Is there a way to monitor the progress (even if it's running) of a scheduled task? I tried logging on during a run - it was configured to use my username and password - but couldn't tell if it ran or what. The script is set up to send e-mail at the end, but that's all the feedback I have built into the script right now.
Any guidance or suggestions is apprecited - Thanks, Brian
Hi Brian,
I think that if you’re logged in (at the physical machine) at the time a build starts in the IDE (even if you’re “disconnected”), it will start on the logged in users desktop (so you can see it running.) If you’re not logged in, AFAIK there is no way to “connect” to the background session once it starts. This is a limitation of the Windows task scheduler.
We have a solution to this problem “in the pipeline”, so hopefully you won’t have to put up with this problem for long. In the meantime, leaving the user logged in on the build machine should take care of it.

Well I simply use the flag /L that redirects the Log to a file in a shared directory, and when I see that file grow, I know that the build is doing something.
