I use Task Scheduler to run programs at various intervals that support
an Internet web site. When the computer is idle I have it set to go to
sleep after 5 minutes. I use the "Wake Up Computer" setting for the
tasks in Task Scheduler so that it comes back to life when a task is
ready to run.
This all works well and predictably EXCEPT for a couple of programs that
run at different times. They wake up the computer allright but they
each take about 2 minutes to complete and the computer goes back to
sleep before they're done leaving files open and the task only partially
completed. I've messed with every setting I can think of and have made
no progress at all.
I've tried the Vista sleep, hybrid sleep, and hibernation modes but they
all result in the same thing...the computer just goes back to sleep too
early while the task is still running.
I need some way to make the PC stay awake until the scheduled task is
complete. Anyone have ideas what to do???
