I'm trying to find out if I have any scheduled tasks running between, say, 5pm and 6pm. I'm having an issue with a web application (Zendesk) where something seems to log me out around that time of day (or maybe my authentication expires). Occurs under Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).
So, I'm thinking that some process (Google related possibly) may be running and causing this issue.
I've gotten into the task scheduler, and am wondering if there's a way to search for any tasks that run during a certain time interval. Either from this screen or some other screen.
Turning in now for the night, but will check back in the morning.
If its web application running on iis check if there is any worker process recycle scheduled in iis.
Well ... just expanding the task scheduler window a bit (you can drag the window and area edges anywhere you want, same with the column widths) and scrolling side to side in the center window will show you last run time for all of the tasks in the list. But you might also look through the event viewer to see what else is happening right at that same time.
McKnife: How do i open an elevated powershell?
@Jane - how do I access Event Viewer? Thanks.
click on the start button, type powershell - right click what it finds and select "run as administrator".
Could any of these cause another process to log me out or discontinue authenticization? Thanks.
Now that I look at my problem history, I see the timing isn't quite right per my idea that some external process is logging me out. Does this listing show me everything I would see in the GUI for task scheduler?
Yes it does. It shows even more than you see at first sight. Because what Jane's screenshot shows, is just a small fraction of all there is hidden beneath the folders to the left of the task scheduler folder tree.
You need to start clear: what happens in the browser? "something seems to log me out" - so you see a logged in state, you leave the machine and come back and you need to login again?
The issue could also be something unrelated. As example, somebody logs in at about the same time every day and runs some manual query that crashes the worker process perhaps by overloading memory or cpu from another app.
@Scott - no one else is on my computer....this is a standalone machine at home.
Skip the "somehow", please :-) What happens exactly? Do you have to login again, or,... what happens before you login, at what mask are you left in the browser?
The application throws a 401 error. Or tells me it can't upload a file. (This is an web app to store user guiides.) I need to re-log in in order to not have the 401 (or whatever) error happen.
Also please clarify "What mask".
What mask… well, in German, we would use the word "mask", maybe it's not suitable in English. Talking about the screen that you see, asking for the kind of dialogue that you see when returning to your screen.
Ok, 401. Could it be that you did not understand what Scott's point was? You answered "no one else is on my computer", but what about the web application? Is it only used by you or do others use it (from other machines)?
I wrongly assumed you were on a web server with multiple sites.
What is it you installed to make zendesk run on windows?
Nothing to install. I just navigate to the URL that they set up for us.
I'm trying an experiment: I logged out around 3pm and then back in . If the issue does not occur at the usual time of day that I've seen it, I may conclude it's some sort of timeout issue.
Thanks, everyone. Jane and Scott, I did not have a chance to follow your directions. McKinfe may thanks. While I did not verify that the data is correct, your instruction was helpful.
