I am trying to use the command line to create a scheduled task that will run after I log into my account, whether it be for the first time on that day, or after resuming from sleep/hibernate and then logging in.
I found the schtasks command, and this looks very much like what I need to run a task after logon: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772785%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#BKMK_logon
schtasks /create /tn TaskName /tr TaskRun /sc onlogon
After running my command, I can see my task name listed in the scheduled tasks list, but it never runs, regardless of whether I logon from a refresh restart or after resuming from sleep/hibernate. Here is my command:
schtasks /create /tn "AutohotKey Windows Logon Trigger" /tr "calc" /sc ONLOGON
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

@frequency Have you tried the GUI to verify the settings of the task itself? – Ramhound – 2013-06-28T14:06:50.057
@Ramhound This scheduled task needs to be created and run by an automated script, so I couldn't use the GUI. – Oliver Spryn – 2013-06-28T14:16:51.470
I didn't ask you to create it through the GUI I asked you verify the settings for the task itself. – Ramhound – 2013-06-28T16:01:02.673
