Scheduled Tasks c0000005 error

[Dave Mandy]

Hi All

I have written a C# console based program. The first line of code simply
writes to the event log and this works 99% of the time, whether being run
manually or kicked off by Windows Scheduled Tasks. However, the other 1% of
the time Windows Tasks will return the following error (from the SchedLgU.txt
log file)

Started 20/03/2006 08:20:01
"ServerInfoService.job" (ServerInfoService.exe)
Finished 20/03/2006 08:20:03
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (c0000005).

Does anybody know what this error means / if there is a public chart of the
error codes?

Thanks

c0000005 usually means access violation, memory read or write error, this may happen if you pass null pointers or null references.

I've seen similar problems when a screen saver kicks at the same time
as the scheduled task.

I don't think an access violation is possible in managed code. I
suspect the fault is coming from unmanaged code. The Dr. Watson log
may provide more information.

Hello, Brian!

Yes, you're right, AVs do not happen in managed world, only "Object reference not set...".
And if you pass nulls to the unmanaged world via P/Invoke or interop you may obtain AV.

The Dr Watson log yielded the following:

A bit of a google reveals a few others have experienced similar issues, but
without resolution posted:

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thre...7068-1-10.html

Most ideas are geared around the code, but I am pretty sure that isn't the
issue here, as the first line isn't being called, it is bombing out on start
up.

Thanks for the responses from all the gurus thus far, any more thoughts?

Dave,

Strange. The fault appears to be in CLR initialization code or
something.
