I think you were right the first time, Eugene - unless you have a password when you log in (or the "run as" account has a password), the task scheduler will not run.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311119 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;310715 My solution: put it in your startup group instead ("plucker-desktop --update-due") and that way, every time you turn on your computer, it'll update the channels. Otherwise you could create a user for scheduled tasks as described in the KB articles. Andy On Wednesday 05 March 2003 6:38 am, Verlorene Seele wrote: > > Hmmm.
