Hello,

I have a requirement where I need to create a jar file that invokes selenium scripts. I want to make jar file a job every 5 mints and should disable job if the selenium scripts are running.

if selenium scripts run more than 5 mints then I should disable job until selenium scripts complete else job should run every 5 mints.

I have created a task in task Scheduler where I am calling this jar file every 5 mints.

Is there any way where I can disable the task once I start executing jar and enable it when it completed executing.

What I have tried:

You can create and change tasks using the command line, I used this in a C# application and it works fine. I find this a lot easier than using complicated libraries that probably will be out of date when a new Windows version is released.
