Automate FileBot to run via Task Scheduler

Hi.
A complete numpty when it comes to any form of scripting!
I've managed to get FileBot Node up and running and registered. No issues apart from having to update Java. It captures files from a shared folder and moves renamed files into a media folder.
I'd like to run (Execute) FileBot through the Task Scheduler daily at 0600hrs instead of having to open FileBot Node and hit the Execute button each day.
I've tried adding FileBot as a task in 'Task Scheduler' as a scheduled task but I presume all that does is open the program, how do I get it to perform the Execute command once opened?
Many thanks in advance.
Dave

You can check the Task in Synology Task Scheduler. It will run the pre-configured filebot command. If you clicked Schedule, then you're already golden. By default, it's going to run at 4am, but you can configure the details in Synology Task Scheduler.

Hi, I have a Qnap and I am trying to figure out whether the task has been correctly scheduled, and whether I can check/change the schedules.
I got the following in my crontab, nothing seems to be a filebot task?
Code: Select all

FileBot Node does not modify your crontab. It merely prepares a command that you can then paste into some 3rd party tool or scheduler.
You can modify your system crontab with sudo vi but future QNAP updates may sometimes reset things.
