Hi,

I am seeing jobs with the status "abandoned". I cannot find any FAQ about this. Anyone have any input?

The "Abandoned" status indicates that the adTempus service was shut down while the job was running. There should also be a warning message in the job log for each affected job.

Thanks for the reply.

What happens to the jobs that are running?

In this case they are vbs files that are being run through cscript or "default script host" association is a step.

The scripts (or programs) keep running if the service is shut down (unless, of course, it was shut down because the computer was being restarted). adTempus has no way of knowing what happened to them after it was shut down.

When it's restarted, adTempus recognizes that the jobs were running when it was shut down, so it updates the status at that point.

"so it updates the status at that point."

It updates it to abandoned, or can it re-attach and track status?

It updates the status (from whatever it was at the time the service was shut down) to "Abandoned."

It does not "reattach" to the process.

We are looking at the possibility of having it reattach; it may be feasible in some cases.
