That is exactly what /nfb does.

Re: [Draconet-users] Another vote for scheduled polling (and rationale).
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?

RE: [Draconet-users] Another vote for scheduled polling (and rationale).
Actually I like this suggestion, now that I think about it. As Yves points out, the scheduling could get rather hairy if Draco tried to please everybody. If the cli had a poll/force option, I think I'd be happy to schedule it as a task. Much cleaner! Plus the service doesn't need to be restarted to refresh its config file if the schedule needs to be modified.

I like to keep complexity out of things when I can get away with it. It sounds to me like if the dracrocli remoting interface supported a "/poll:buildname" then the Windows scheduler could be used. Right now dracocli can be used to start a build anyway for those who would like to run a clean build at time X via the Windows scheduler. Adding the /poll command would let the Windows scheduler be used to drive the "check SCC / maybe run the build" as well. Because of .NET remoting, the scheduler and dracocli.exe don't even have to be on the draco build machine after all. I believe main advantage of using the Windows scheduler is that we get a semi-nice GUI for editing schedules for free, and secondly no complex scheduling code needs to be created/tested. The downside is that the schedule editor is not an integrated part of draco, but what the heck, right now the schedule editor GUI is notepad.exe anyway. If this was a shrink-wrap software tool I suppose leveraging Window scheduler might seem cheesy, but I think it's perfect for this situation. - Jerry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 4:11 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Draconet-users] Another vote for scheduled polling (and rati onale). Importance: Low We seem to evolve from poll period to a more free form of task scheduling (e.g. Poll every Monday of the month, Poll every week on Sunday and Saturday, Poll every day at 12:00 PM, Poll every ...). Of course, it all depends on people's individual polling requirement. If only 2 scenario's exist (namely relative and absolute (daily)), why build more than that into Draco? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
