I do a similar thing using a batch file wrapper to execute a shell script (So
I can pass command-line arguments to shell scripts from scheduled task)
Do you have any logging output from the task? What happens if you right-click
the job in the scheduler list and "Run now"?
Scheduled tasks do run in a different environment that interactive tasks.
Things to check are whether or not the wrapper can find the executables; if
the job is running as a user with all the necessary permissions; If the
wrapper needs access to the console to run and, generally, if the server is
available at the time the task is set to run.
