Autostart with Windows Task Scheduler #385

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using the Windows Task Scheduler to autostart openhardwaremonitor is a very 
good idea. I use the Windows Task Scheduler extensively myself.

There's just one glitch:
As the openhardwaremonitor application is not a task that will end after having 
performed his job; the Task Scheduler hostprocess "taskeng.exe" will keep 
running all the time.
It's not a great thing, but unnecessary.

As a workaround I use the tool hstart.exe from 
"http://www.ntwind.com/software/hstart.html"
this way: >hstart.exe "openhardwaremonitor.exe".
As the launcher "hstart.exe" ends after that, also the "taskeng.exe" will.

Would be nice if the Openhardwaremonitor.exe could include a launcher to launch 
itself.
