Status
This field displays the current state of the scheduled background task.
The status is one of these values:
- WAITING: This indicates that the
task is scheduled and is waiting for its next scheduled start time.
You can disable or delete a WAITING task.
- PROCESS: This indicates that a scheduled task has reached its
scheduled start time. As a result, it has spawned a 'child' task, and is now waiting for
the 'child' task to complete.
You cannot disable or delete a task that has this status.
- READY: The task has reached its
scheduled start time (if any) and is to be executed as soon as TaskMan has the available
capacity.
A READY task can be created by a scheduled task or by manual submission from a user or other process.
A READY task can be canceled on request.
- RUNNING: The task is currently
executing.
A RUNNING task can be canceled on request.
- CANCEL: This indicates that a request for cancellation has been initiated. This means that the task is in the process of being canceled and TaskMan is working to stop its execution.
