@veezh, Thanks! This method did work. When I first tested this--after
theducks mentioned it. I noticed that the traybar icon would not disappear within the time I would set it to end the task. But after a few more minutes, when I put my pointer over it, it quickly disappears--so it does shut down. Just leaves a shadow behind that it did run--I guess? So there is no need to create two different schedule tasks for this application--one will do just fine.
@Divingduck, thanks for your last tutorial. Using your instructions I was able to make the program run only in the traybar, this way no window will open during the scheduled task.
The formula is:
Code:
C:\PROGRA~1\Calibre2\calibre.exe --start-in-tray
I really hope there is a way they can investigate why it eats up memory when the application runs for a long period of time. Perhaps a memory leak or it just doesn't let go the memory and it keeps on growing to the point that it will just eat up everything it can--until you have to manually restart it.
Thanks again everyone.. consider my request solved.
P.S. what's the story behind the members using "ducks" in their username? Any relation or just a "quacky" coincidence?
