| OS affected | Not a bug |
| Description | The Command and WindowsCommand tasks are multi threaded to allow users to run their own programs or scripts simultaneously. Also, many user scripts may take hours to finish. The disadvantage of multi threaded tasks is that overlapping schedules can occur if the task takes too long to run. |
| Causes | - |
| Solution | 4.x and 5.x - Run the Command or Windows Command task as the only task within a
Chain task. No overlapping schedules of the Chain task is possible because it is
synchronized. 6.x - Use the Scheduler - Synchronization feature and create a profile for this task to prevent overlapping schedules. |
