Hourly Automation Tasks

81 votes

Currently, an Automation Task can only be scheduled to run, at most, once per day. I would like to run a task as frequently as every hour throughout the course of the day.

This is seriously a huge need for us. We are a 24/7 hotline, and with work at home being a thing devices are on and off at random and various times.

Some scripts we would like to run every 6 hour, so a integer input field would be great.

Adding to what was said above by David, maybe add an "At Next Boot" or "At Next Reboot" option to the command. We may not know when a client starts their computer again, but if the agent looks to see if it should run any scripts when it starts up that could be useful.

Agreed. I need a script running every minute to monitor events in eventlog. Please add an option to schedule an automatic task multiple times per day (every x minutes or x hours).

To anyone still struggling with this here's some band aid fixes:

A rudimentary option is to use the Windows task scheduler:

And cron jobs on Mac/Linux:
