Another issue: I've solved for me but for information. Windows 8.
~~~
The task manager task generated by the Setting Editor was not running. Or rather, a first task it started running and never completed, and the remainder would not start.
The reason turned out to be that Task Manager starts a task using OpenWith, so that the command actually being run was
| Text |
1
| C:\Windows\system32\OpenWith.exe ""D:\Temp\HG612_Modem_Stats\Scripts\HG612_stats.VBS"" |
Testing this out from the command line it asked me
'How do you want to open this kind of file (.VBS)?', with a suggestion '
Continue using Microsoft Console Based Script Host'.
Script host was registered for .VBS, so it ran automatically (without prompt) as a double-click from Explorer, but for some reason not from Task Manager/OpenWith.
Presumably, the hidden task was asking for interaction to tell it what to run, but not getting interaction as it was hidden!?
~~~
What I have done which is working (and neater) is to change the task to run "HG612_stats.exe", and told it to start in the appropriate "HG612_Modem_Stats\Scripts" directory.
I imagine this is avoiding the OpenWith.exe, and certainly avoiding cscript of the .vbs file.
If easy I suggest you change the Settings Editor to generate this variant
~~~
Merging the old and new log files as you suggest has worked fine, and the new version is now my regular version.
Once again, thanks to you both.
