labview task scheduler

Hello,

 

 I have a main LabVIEW test program that runs constantly, and a LabVIEW program set that generates test reports and FTP transfers.

 

The test report generation and FTP transfer programs are currently geared to be a Windows Scheduled Task - but the problem is that the Windows Task Scheduler service on the host PC keeps stopping for reasons unknown.

 

I was wondering if anyone has created a LabVIEW 'Task Scheduler' like program that I can incorporate into the main LabVIEW test program, and finally put this project to bed.

 

Something that would allow scheduling daily (by time of day), weekly (by day of week and time of day) and monthly (by 1st day of the month and time of day) would be great.

 

Any help would be truly appreciated.  Thanks!

reading the time each minute and checking against a tasklist (including dates and time and done boolean) would be easy enough.

In your idle loop (you always have in a nonstop program) check this and up you go. (I would read in new tasks once a day or add a task user interface)

greetings from the Netherlands
