Scheduled tasks - repeatable

[Tom Elliott]

Can you try restarting the FOGScheduler service?

I tried to do it to just one individual host and got this:

Wonder if the computers not having an image assigned prevented the cron-style WOL task from ever being created?

That’s the web command for WOL.

[Tom Elliott]

The suspected issue right now appears to be the wol tasking is requiring an image to be performed which should not be the case. Thanks @Wayne-Workman for pointing this out. Just thought I’d inform anyone else seeing the same type of problem.

[Tom Elliott]

The issue was indeed due to non-image required tasks requiring an image set to the host. I have added checks now to hopefully ensure it no longer needs this if the image type is not of a nature that requires an image assigned.

Thank you for reporting.

[Sebastian Roth]

Moving to bug reports and marking it solved.

[Wayne Workman]

I’m on cloud 5760 and the WOL Cron style tasks are now creating for individual hosts that don’t have images assigned. I can see them in task management under scheduled tasks - but it’s not actually running.

And tasks are still not being created through groups.

[Wayne Workman]

WOL as an immediate task through groups (even with an image unassigned) does work.

WOL as an immediate task for one host does work.

WOL as a cron task for one host does not work (Does create the task).

WOL as a cron task through groups does not work (doesn’t create the tasks).

This is what I’m doing in the groups for testing (about 30 in the group):

Should all be fixed in latest.

Sorry about the havoc or issues this may have created.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Ok… Progress… but not totally right.

I haven’t even created any Cron tasks… but since I’ve updated, computers won’t stay shut down lol.

I wonder if my previous attempts to create a * * * * * WOL task was stored but didn’t work. and if that’s the case - the previously created Cron task is not showing in the scheduled tasks list.

Where are Cron jobs stored?

Also - Cron style WOL through groups now tells me it successfully created the task - but the tasks are still not showing in the scheduled tasks area.

[Wayne Workman]

I’ve deleted everything in the tasks table… computers are still turning on/staying on.

[Wayne Workman]

Ok I deleted everything in the scheduledTasks table - that stopped the constant WOL stuff.

the FOGScheduler seems to be working correctly…

However these cron tasks are still not showing in Task Management -> Scheduled Tasks, which means it’s not easy to delete cron tasks.

For the moment - this is no longer a critical issue for me - I have a firm grasp on working with MySQL and knowing now about the scheduledTasks table - I can work with this.

Things are workable.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman I want to figure out why you’re not seeing the tasks but things from the cron scheduler are working as intended now? Is it somewhat safe to solve this thread?

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Yes.

[Wayne Workman]

I just updated to svn 4637 cloud 5937, still on Fedora 23 fully updated.

These CRON WOL tasks for groups are still not showing up in the web interface.

These errors are repeating in the apache error log, not sure if they are related.

These tasks are now showing up. @Developers
