Output redirects are not working running Perl program via Windows Task Scheduler
I have Perl script configured to run periodically via Windows Task Scheduler.
Action: Start a program
Program: C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe
Add arguments: script.pl config.json > output.txt 2>&1
or: script.pl config.json 2>&1 > output.txt
Start in: c:\path\to\scriptPL\
The program runs, but it gets either > or 2>&1 in $ARGV[1], instead of redirecting outputs. When running from the command prompt output redirects work.
What am I missing?
Solution
Output redirection may or may not work with the Task Scheduler. The workaround is to run your desired command (including output redirection) inside a batch file, and to call the batch file from Task Scheduler.
script.bat

C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe script.pl config.json > output.txt 2>&1
