schtasks automatically enables "Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days"


I use the batch script to create a scheduled task:

schtasks /Create /F /RL highest /SC onlogon /TR "C:\MyFile.exe" /TN "MyDescription"

It perfectly runs my application on every user logon. However, it automatically enables "Stop the task if it runs longer than" option with "3 days". I think it is default behavior.

My application may run on servers and it should not quit after 3 days. How can I modify the batch script so that my application runs infinitely?


Solution

  • thanks to @anon coward's comment, I was able to get this made:

    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <!--
    This sample schedules a task to start notepad.exe when after login.
    -->

    </Task>
    

    run with: schtasks /Create /XML <xmlpath> /TN "BowserWatch"
