Scheduler Scripts

About

Scheduler extensions are called by scheduler tasks (setup by the user).

Writing scheduler extensions

Please read Extensions for general information about extensions first.

Schedule

Users can activate scheduler extensions in two ways:

By creating a scheduler task with TaskX.Command=Script and choosing the extension. The schedule time is configured via scheduler task in option TaskX.Time. For many scheduler extensions a reasonable default schedule can be provided by extension author, via extension definition. Scheduler extensions with default schedule can be activated/deactiated the Extension Manager; no creation of a scheduler task is required. If user doesn’t like the default scheduling he can create a scheduler task (instead of or in addition to activating the script via option “Extensions”).
