Scheduled jobs and logon

Question:

I submitted a scheduled job to run on a weekly basis. will the job still run if nobody is logged on to the machine, or if different user is logged on to the machine?

Answer:

The job will run regardless of which user, or whether a user, is actively logged on. In Windows, FASTCopy and FEST run as background services, meaning they are on as long as the system has completed booting, and run independently of the user currently logged on to the system. When the job does run, it is switched into the appropriate user context using credentials supplied at job submission time. In UNIX, the jobs are submitted by the flogic daemon as a background process.
