I was wondering if anyone can guide me on using windows task scheduler with a miner to turn it on and off at certain times. I'm using EWBF's CUDA Miner. I have task scheduler start the bat file that runs the miner, and it kind of works. It will open the miner and run it, but the command window does not show, but the miner process does run and is mining. To close it I have tried using taskkill but it is not closing it, nor does running a batch file with taskkill command in it either.

Can someone guide me on how I can get this to work? I dont mind the command window not showing, but getting the miner to shut off is essential.

It's been a long time since I have done a batch file with taskkill. Have you tried using the /f parameter in your taskkill command? I would look into the command a little more as it should be able to kill mining task.

I would work on getting the command to work first then focus on the batch file. Also you might post your batchfile and see if anyone notices anything to help.

I actually just got it to work. I had to set the task for ending it to run with highest privelages.

Now the only thing I wish I could get working is for the command box to stay up when its running. Its not a big deal but would prefer if it did.
