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.
