I suggest you give it a try all you have to do is to create
the following batch file run it with the task scheduler log
off then log on again you can now examine c:\test.log
and find out if the job stopped while you were logged off.
(By the way, using punctuation makes it much, much
easier to read a text!).

@echo off
:again
echo This task was active on %date% at %time% >> c:\test.log
ping localhost -n 30 > nul
goto again
