Works fine manually but when used with Task Scheduler, the batch job runs, creates sync.ffs_lock, syncs files successfully, removes the sync.ffs_lock, reports confirms success but the Task does not end in Scheduler and it keeps showing "running". I can force it to end manually and run again which is ...

Got it, thanks guys. I've never seen SMTP hard coded, especially in free software, and always had to configure my own, hence my confusion.

Since SMTP servers are what send email, is one just hardcoded into your software?

I paid for the donation edition because I wanted the email notification functionality. Now the checkbox is enabled and I can enter the address but where do I configure the SMTP server? I'm finding no mention of this in documentation and people sharing scripts in the forum to do this manually.

Ran from cmd, it pops up a progress window. Ran from Task Scheduler, it does not, just shows "running" status.

Not sure what you mean. It already is running as the logged in user, "run minimized" is not checked. Starting it from Task Scheduler shows "running" but nothing is displayed anywhere.

Is it possible to see status of a batch running under Task Scheduler?
