I want to schedule a Python program that reads the command line for
input. However, when adding an argument to the command line Python
will not pick it up when using Windows scheduled tasks.

How do I get it to work?

Do you write the command line when defining the task? Using double quotes
around arguments with spaces?
It works fine for me.

I ran the following on the Scheduled Tasks:
"J:\Jim Crerar\MyPython\Zero_OE_Counter\Zero_OE_Counter.py" n
"J:\Jim Crerar\MyPython\Zero_OE_Counter\Zero_OE_Counter.py n"
"J:\Jim Crerar\MyPython\Zero_OE_Counter\Zero_OE_Counter.py" "n"
None of them work.
However, no problem with running from *.bat file or directly from
shortcut on my Desktop.
Thanks,
Jim
