Script debugger not working for Scheduled Scripts?

Hi,

Am I right that it is not possible to use the script debugger for a Scheduled Script?

I've made a script that is working fine but I notice that I can not debug it and step through it in the script debugger as it doesn't stop on the breakpoints I add.

Am I doing something wrong? If not, what's the reason why this script cannot be debugged with the debugger?

Thanks.
Toon

The script debugger only runs on interactive contexts.

Scheduled Jobs, and Script Actions run in a separate context from your own session.  If you want to debug them using the debugger, make a script include, and debug that within a fix script calling a script include as that will run it interactively.  Then have the scheduled job call the script include.
