I copy to network shares, so running as a service is not an option.
I want a visual indication that the scheduler is "alive". I use another tool to monitor select services via system tray icon. Is the Scheduler the system tray icon (SyncoveryService.exe) or the VSS service SyncoveryVSS.exe?
Making sure the scheduler is alive/running
Re: Making sure the scheduler is alive/running
Hello,
if you run the scheduler as a background app rather than a service, then the tray icon represents the scheduler. Or you could say, the tray icon is the scheduler. You can right-click the tray icon to control the scheduler and even make it completely visible with a dialog window.
The VSS service is completely invisible. Most of the time, it's idle. The only purpose of the VSS service is to allow non-Admin users to make backups using volume shadowing to copy locked files. The VSS service does not have any configuration settings. You could stop it if you don't need to copy locked files.

Visible scheduler dialog window. Highlights next item to run. COOL! Should support theme. If I had dual monitors I might leave that open. Although I'm asleep when the 23 jobs run. Still though, very handy.
Quit button should have a confirmation or renamed to Stop Scheduler - only for those who might not realize that it terminates it.
For my purposes I've just set the scheduler to always show in the system tray.
