    bat job started by Task Scheduler does not pause


    Old professor,

    Your test file runs correctly & pauses as intended when run from my [Ver 1703] Task scheduler without any special syntax being necessary.

    The discussion about Powershell is not relevant to your problem. Somebody else mentioned it and then the others thought that you had said that it was running in Powershell.

    If you simplified your real batch file for ease of explanation in this forum then might it be that some error is occurring and that it is crashing before reaching the pause line?. Are you running the real batch using the same user account you are testing it in?

    Does your batch file appear correctly if you open it in Notepad?time /T > c:\bat\test.log
    echo "--------------- starting test" >> c:\bat\test.log
    echo "-------------- finished test" >> c:\bat\test.log
    time /T >> c:\bat\test.log
    pause
    Whatever your problem is, it has nothing to do with Powershell.

    I mentioned this in my last post, also sceptical about a batch "running in PowerShell":

    However, you are only half right right: OP mentioned it by himself, although first after it was suggested:
