Scheduled Task - Keeps Re-Running

Hi Folks,

I'm hoping that someone can help me resolve an annoying issue with some scheduled processes. 

For example a process is scheduled to run and completes with no issues, but it then continues to run a number of times failing each time. Failure is normally due to the fact the initial job completed successfully and moved the input files to an archive location. 

This is particularly annoying for communication as huge number of email alerts are sent informing the team the job failed but it has actually completed successfully. What is triggering the process to start again and try a number of times? 

Thanks in advance, 

Kind regards,
Tom

    What version of Automator are you running?
    Is this a standard process or visual process?

    This sounds like a defect that has been previously reported.  You will need to upgrade to a more recent version to resolve.  The most recent version that is out is v15.3.
