Terminating the service will not work, since Windows will not take the shutdown delay into account. Creating a second service might not be possible, if there is no second instance of the service allowed. A second service with the setting to start manual and to terminate after execution would be really handy. You can create the scheduled task to be run as a user, which has administrative rights on the server and can access the software share, so you only need to run wpkg.js --- Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
