Fog v1.2 -- schedule tasks??

[mkstreet]

Hi,

Under TASK MANAGEMENT, I see the option to look at what tasks are scheduled already.
But I don’t see a way to schedule a task…

You schedule either by the host or from list all hosts.

Wow, that’s well hidden. I thought I’d looked through every menu. Is there no way to schedule a group for a time in the future? Or only individual hosts?

[Tom Elliott]

yes there is.

Right from the group page->basic tasks->any task->delayed/cron/instant/etc…

Hmmm… I think I don’t get it.

I go to GROUP MANAGEMENT -> LIST ALL GROUPS -> (choose a group) -> BASIC TASKS

Then I only have three options:
Download
Multicast
Advanced

And advanced just has the things like deploy-debug and disk wipe, etc.

If you select any one of the tasks it will present a deployment confirmation. On the confirmation it asks you how/when you want it to happen. Instant means immediately. Delayed means one time in the future. Cron style means you want it to happen on a regular cycle.
