Windows Task Scheduler - more jobs

Posts: 5 · airm 27 Apr 2020, 12:23

I have to create at least 2 different tasks.
One task is daily and second one is weekly.
Of course no one knows how long tasks work (1TB+).
F.e. if i set daily task to run at 1am and weekly task at 1am too in windows task scheduler, what happens when tasks meet together?
Both instances working same time? So i guess slower synchronizing?
If so, is there possibility to set such tasks to start second after first ends?

FFS will create a temporary 'lock' file that will only allow one instance to run at a time, for a certain directory. Other instances will wait for the lock to be released and then run

And how to set this one:

parallel for both tasks?

To clarify, it will open both instances at the same time, but one of them is going to wait for the other to finish.
