[Taskforest-discuss] Some additional questions about TaskForest

[Svetlana L. <lem...@MI...>]

Hello Aijaz,

We are currently using crontab and we face some issues related to the daylight
time saving change:
- in one case some jobs may run twice (scheduled to run between 2AM and 3AM)
- while in another they do not run at all.

We manually take care of these situations.

So, I wonder how TaskForest handles time changes with GMT option.

Aijaz, can you please give me some information about implementation of
the Calendars in the future releases of the TaskForest?

When do you anticipate it to be in production?

Here are some questions (if you don't mind):
- Is there a way to turn off 'Days of the week' from the Family all together?
I am contemplating to run TaskForest from the crontab to have more control and
flexibility with the schedule.

- What happens when the same job gets called within a family multiple times? I
DO understand that it will get executed only once, but after that, can I keep
calling the same job from different parts of the Family just to check its
status? I can see it to be useful in cases when a chain of dependant jobs
can't be easily layed out with a straightforward top down design.

It is probably confusing and I should send you an example to illustrate
my question.

I spent some time setting a simple test family, but I feel that
its current layout still does not reflect what I want it to do.

I find that a single example of the 'Forest' in TaskForest documentation
is too basic to demonstrate how to handle even a little more complex
dependencies.


Thank you very much!

Lana
