    RE: Kicking off a python script using Windows Scheduled Task

    Does anyone know how to properly kick off a script using Windows
    Scheduled Task? The script calls other python modules within itself.
    HERE'S THE CATCH:
    I am used to running the script directly from the command window and
    the print() is very handy for us to debug and monitor. When running
    the task from Windows Scheduled Task, we'd like to be able to view the
    command window and keep it up after the Task has completed...

    I used the commands

    CMD /K

    cd C:\testdirector y\script_RunTes ts

    python AutomatedTestRu n.py

    but when AutomatedTestRu n.py calls other python modules, we don't see
    output.
    Import os and add os.system("paus e") at the end of AutomatedTestRu n.py
    to keep cmd open.

    As far as not seeing any output, I haven't had any trouble with that
    before. Maybe you're doing something unusual?

    Have you tried using the logging module, rather than print? Might be
    more useful for what you're trying to do.

    Cheers,
