[Puppet - Feature #16804] scheduled_task : add support for every X minutes or hours mode
Issue #16804 has been updated by Matthaus Owens. Project changed from Puppet Enterprise (Public) to Puppet Moving to the Puppet project, as this is not a PE feature, but rather a Puppet feature. Feature #16804: scheduled_task : add support for every X minutes or hours mode https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16804#change-78318 Author: Pascal Sartoretti Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: 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.

[Puppet - Feature #16804] scheduled_task : add support for every X minutes or hours mode
Issue #16804 has been updated by Josh Cooper. I meant to say we don't currently support as opposed to can't support. We could create a new scheduled_task provider to support these capabilities and confine it to Vista or later. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this (schtasks.exe, API, XML) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa382153(v=vs.85).aspx Feature #16804: scheduled_task : add support for every X minutes or hours mode https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16804#change-78361 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.

[Puppet - Feature #16804] scheduled_task : add support for every X minutes or hours mode
Issue #16804 has been updated by Pascal Sartoretti. Maybe support for Windows Server 2003 is not required, as this OS is already in Extended Support phase (no more in Mainstream Support phase), and will be terminated in 2015.
