Scheduling CLI Execution Using Windows Task Scheduler

You can schedule the execution of your batch file using the built-in Windows Task Scheduler. This is useful for triggering automation at specific times or intervals.

1. Open Task Scheduler from the Start menu.

2. Click Create Task from the right-hand panel.

3. In the General tab, name the task (e.g., Run HuLoop Automation).

4. Go to the Triggers tab:
   • Click New…

1. • For the Begin the task, select On a schedule.

1. • Under Settings, choose the frequency (One time, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and set the time and date.

Enable Synchronize across time zones if your machine or scheduled task needs to run at a consistent local time, regardless of time zone differences. This is especially useful if the automation will run on machines in different regions or if the system time may vary.

1. • Under Advanced settings, check Repeat task every and define the repeat interval (e.g., every 1 hour).

You can also configure additional options here based on your scheduling needs.

1. • Click OK

5. Go to the Actions tab:
   • Click New

1. • Select the Action as Start a program (if not already selected).

1. • Click Browse and select your batch file created earlier.

1. • Click OK

6. Go to the Settings tab:
   • Set how the task should behave if it’s already running: You can choose an execution rule to define what happens if a previous instance is still running.
   • From the dropdown, select Do not start a new instance.

1. • Click OK. You may be prompted to enter your system credentials to run the task.
   • Enter your credentials and click OK.
   • Follow any onscreen instructions.

7. To verify your scheduled task:
