Hello!

We have created a .NET console application and generated exe file to be regularly executed using VisualCron task. We have tested that the executable run in Foreground execute context with out an issue. However the VisualCron is not able to run the executable properly in background mode .. no sign of failure. Please forward your suggestion in this regard. Thank you!

What exact error do you get? Please try to run and then check the log_serverDATE.txt in log folder and paste related lines here.

Here is the log items generated after running the execute in background

It seems like it completes without errors and does not hang. Can you please enable Extended debugging in Server settings->Log. Then Edit the Credential that you use and send us a screenshot of it.
