I was looking at Window task scheduler to schedule my script to run each hour. The script will do some checks and will send an email .
I did not find options to schedule it for each 1 hour. I only found for every day, daily, weekly and so on.
Task scheduler does show the option to configure hourly trigger as shown below.
Another option you have is to run your PowerShell script as a Service and add the logic in your PowerShell script to trigger your main code once every hour.
Refer: Video: Running PowerShell scripts as a real Windows Service!
How To Create a User-Defined Service
Call it from scheduled task eg task would be to start PowerShell and run the specified script see Run a powershell script in the background once per minute
create the task then -> new trigger -> daily -> repeat task every hour is one way of doing it. Or do it on commandline

I need to run a python script every day at a certain time. Said script takes screenshots and sends them to me in the mail. I have a .bat that executes the script, and I have created a scheduled task to execute the script, the problem is that if the user is not logged in, the screenshots fail.
Is there any way to do an automatic login with username and password through a Windows scheduled task at a specific time?
I have been reading and it is not clear to me, it seems that not, but I was sure that something like this could be done.
This is the scheduled task that I currently have. I need that before it is executed, it is logged in with the user.
Is there any way to start task after sometime when specific task starts?
Two answers:
Put the task in a batchfile, add a wait for 5 minutes and then put the next task.
In the task scheduler, instead of the task itself, refer to the batchfile.
I just see there's something called INotify cron (there's a tag icron for that). Maybe this can help you.
I would like to launch script after windows service start or restart.
Like monitor wsupdate and at start or restart execute a batch script test.bat
Any ideas ?
That could be easily done with a scheduled task:
You just need to:
1) Start and Stop the Service to got the appropriate Events in the Eventlog.
2) taskschd.msc and create a new Costum Task. As Trigger you can select the Events created before with the start and/or stop action.
3) As Action call your cmd/bat, whatever you want.
Hint:
You also can export the Event in the XML Format, explained here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/09/26/advanced-xml-filtering-in-the-windows-event-viewer.aspx
and then import the XML Snippet into the Scheduld Task.
Is this possible to schedule the JMeter scripts.for example I want to run the same script every hour and want to automate this process.Is this possible?
Yes, there are many options:
Linux : Use cron
Windows Task Scheduler
Jenkins
I have a small question on windows scheduler - Say i have scheduled a task to run once in 30 minutes interval in windows task scheduler.
Does windows start the second process even if my first job process has not finished yet? Or windows takes care of starting the second job process only after the first job is finished? Or do i have to take care of it explicitly?
Go to the Settings tab in the Create Task wizard (or editing the tasks’ Properties). There should be an entry If the task is already running, then the following entry applies: and you can choose one of the following options (push button):
Do not start a new instance - the first instance of the task continues to run.
Run a new instance in parallel - the first task instance continues to run and the new task instance also starts.
Queue a new instance - the new tasks instance runs after the first task instance finished.
Stop the existing instance - the first task instance is stopped and the new task instance is started.
