Issue #16804 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted Keywords set to windows
Unfortunately, we can't support every X minutes because Windows scheduled tasks (version 1) don't support it. The newer v2 APIs for creating scheduled tasks do support it, but aren't supported on 2003. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16804: scheduled_task : add support for "every X minutes or hours" mode https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16804#change-78335 Author: Pascal Sartoretti Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: windows Branch: As stated in the Puppet documentation (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#scheduledtaskscheduledtask), the "scheduled_task" resource type does not support repetition modes such as "every X minutes". It is a pity, because such tasks are very commonly used in Windows servers (and maybe less on Windows clients), making "scheduled_task" not so useful. It is true that the configuration of Windows scheduled task is complicated (as opposed to crontab...); we may not need all the features available in the Windows GUI (like "Until", "Duration" or "If the task is still running, stop it at this time"), I guess it would be enough to support "every X minutes" and "every Y hours". -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
