## Restarting a Task Within Its Time Window

You can set up a task to restart at regular intervals within the specified time window. This allows a task to run multiple times each scheduled day based on an interval that you specify in hours, minutes, and seconds. The interval you specify is measured with respect to the first value of your defined time window. For example, if you set up a task to run between 2:00 AM and 9:00 AM and repeat every three hours, the run schedule is 2:00 AM, 5:00 AM, and 8:00 AM.

If you schedule a task to start today, the task can run at the next scheduled interval. If the last interval has passed, the task can not run today.

To restart a task during the scheduled time window:

1. Open the Scheduling Service dialog box.
2. If necessary, specify the time window during which you want the task to run.

> See Specifying a Time Window for procedures.

1. From the schedule options list in the left pane, select the Restart Time Interval option.

> The Restart Time Interval Within the Run Day pane is displayed.

1. Select the Restart task every checkbox.
2. In the listbox to the right of the checkbox, select or type the restart interval. Perform any of the following actions:

- To enter hours, select the hour value and enter the number of hours you want for the restart interval.

Tip If using the increment buttons, you need only click in the portion of the field you want to change (hours/minutes/seconds) and then select the up or down increment button.

- To enter minutes, select the minutes value and enter the number of minutes you want for the restart interval.
- To enter seconds, select the seconds value and enter the number of seconds you want for the restart interval.

Note The maximum values you can choose are 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.

3. When you have finished setting up a schedule, select OK.

> The Scheduling Service dialog box accepts the changes you made and closes. The task is scheduled to restart at the specified interval.
