Adding a scheduled task

Q

Hello,

I have created a .vbs script to check on the Application pools and would like to run this every hour.

I have added it to the scheduler, but it doesnt run. I have manually created a task within windows, and this works perfectly. So the problem is getting the plesk scheduler to run.

In the path to executable file, i have entered both:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\apppoolsmonitor.vbs"
AND
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\apppoolsmonitor.vbs

The whole line in the task from windows is:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\bin\runtask.exe" "--application=\"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\apppoolsmonitor.vbs\"" "--parameters=""


But doesnt work. Anyone have any clues? or will I just have to set this up manually?
 
Actually .vbs is not executable file. It should be loaded by
cscript.exe.

C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\Desktop\apppoolsmonitor.vbs
