I have to deploy some Perl automation scripts on a server. But to schedule them I am using Windows Task Scheduler. I have a .bat file in which I have written the command

perl scriptname.pl

Provided the .bat file and script are in same directory which is in D: drive. But the task scheduler always triggers and then gives error that previous instance is already running.

I don't want to override the instance but I cannot see any instance running. Also the script is a selenium script and I am not seeing any browser window which I generally see when the task is triggered by the Scheduler.

The script is working fine on excuting the .bat file directly.

Couldn't you try to check the mark `Stop task when running longer than x days`? – geisterfurz007 Dec 01 '16 at 12:21

Now its working when I am selecting the 'run only when user is logged in' option but not with the option 'run whether user is logged in or not'. Is it related to admin rights ?? – Mohit Dec 02 '16 at 06:50
