Running python script in Service account by using windows task scheduler - windows

Question

NOTE 1- All files are running using cmd in my profile and fetching
correct results.But not with the windows task scheduler.
**> NOTE 2- I finally got a lead that glob.glob and os.listdir is not
working in the windows task scheduler in my python script in which I
am making a connection to a remote server, but it is working in my
local using cmd and pycharm.**
**
print("before for loop::", os.path.join(file_path, '*'))
print(glob.glob( os.path.join(file_path, '*') ))
for filename in glob.glob( os.path.join(file_path, '*') ):
print("after for loop")
**
While running above .py script I got: before for loop:: c:\users\path\dir\*
While executing print(glob.glob( os.path.join(file_path, '*') )) giving "[]" and not able to find why?
I followed this StackOverflow link for setting up Windows Scheduler for python by referring to MagTun comment:Scheduling a .py file on Task Scheduler in Windows 10
Currently, I am having scheduler.py which is calling the other 4 more .py files.
When I try to run Scheduler.py from Windows Task SCHEDULER,
It runs Scheduler.py and then after 1 minute it runs all other 4 .py files and exit within a seconds. Not giving any output in elastic search.
I used this for cmd script:
#echo off
cmd /k "cd /d D:\folder\env\Scripts\ & activate & cd /d D:\folder\files & python scheduler.py" >> open.log
timeout /t 15
In this above cmd command, It is not saving anything in open.log when running with windows task scheduler.
Script with multiple .py subprocess schedulers is like this:
from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
import datetime
from subprocess import call
from datetime import datetime
import os
from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
def a():
call(['python', r'C:\Users\a.py'])
def b():
call(['python', r'C:\Users\b.py'])
def c():
call(['python', r'C:\Users\c.py'])
def d():
call(['python', r'C:\Users\d.py'])
if __name__ == '__main__':
scheduler = BlockingScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(a, 'interval', minutes=1)
scheduler.add_job(b, 'interval', minutes=2)
scheduler.add_job(c, 'interval', minutes=1)
scheduler.add_job(d, 'interval', minutes=2)
print('Press Ctrl+{0} to exit'.format('Break' if os.name == 'nt' else 'C'))
try:
scheduler.start()
print("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$")
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
print("****#####")
pass

Answer 1

Having the same bizar issue. Works like a charm when running as user. With a windows task the glob query returns no results.
Edit: was using a network share by its mapping name. Only works when using the full UNC path (including the server name).
