Good point David, I wrote that feature, and that sounds exactly like it. We wanted a nightly build to occur only if there were changes since the last nightly build. That is why we needed a no-force-build command line option.
I'm adamantly opposed to putting scheduling into draco.net when the operating system already support this. Why would you want to introduce more code that already exists on the system? Do the Scheduled Tasks in windows not perform to your needs? Is there some feature they are missing? I really doubt it. Besides, it has been tested and is support by a group that makes sure it works. Why would anyone want to reproduce a small section of that functionality when it is already provided. If anything, we should use it. The only problem there is that it isn't part of the BCL and isn't support on implementation like mono (as far as I know). To use it we would have to shell out to the command line, or use the COM Scheduled Tasks components; but of those have portability problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Reed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Isn't that more or less what the /nfb switch does in the Draco client > already?
