Hi, I have this code: #!\Python27\python
import subprocess #subprocess.call(['SchTasks /Create /SC ONCE /TN "My Tasks" /TR "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/ccc/run_alert.py" /ST 07:50'], shell=True) subprocess.call(['SchTasks /Create /SC ONCE /TN "test" /TR "run_alert.py" /ST 07:50'], shell=True) With either call, I get this error: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ccc>cron_alert_activity.py The system cannot find the path specified. If I remove the ", shell=True" I get this: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ccc>cron_alert_activity.py C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ccc\cron_alert_activity.py, line 4, in <module> subprocess.call(['SchTasks /Create /SC ONCE /TN "test" /TR "run_alert.py" /ST 07:50']) File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 493, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 896, in _execute_child startupinfo) WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified The file exists in said directory. I can execute it from the cmd prompt. So I tried this: pgm = "SchTasks" args = ['/Create /SC ONCE /TN "test" /TR "run_alert.py" /ST 07:50'] #args = ['/Create', '/SC ONCE', '/TN "test"', '/TR "run_alert.py"', '/ST 07:50'] cmd = [pgm] cmd.extend(args) subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0] but got this error: ERROR: Invalid argument/option - <<the above argument>> If I use the other args list I get this error: ERROR: Invalid argument/option - '/SC ONCE' so apparently it liked the first argument. Please advise. TIA, Tom
