I'm pushing my luck now :-)

Would it be possible, and does it make sense to imbed generic scripts into the Visual Cron Execute Script task rather than calling an external script file? A little bit like the Powershell and .NET tasks?

Perhaps define the Script Engine path (e.g. Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP etc), the Script itself, and finally any Arguments to pass in to the script?

Even better, allow a script repository (aka Conditions) where all scripts can be stored centrally and selected from a drop-down in the Script task?

Would allow scripts to be centralised and easily maintained....

cheers

The problem is maintaining such an engine and host it internally. .NET and Powershell can be easily hosted internally. I suggest you move to learning one of these languages 😁

Hi Henrik

Good shout :-)

Only problem is I'm not much of a scripter - I'm just asking the question on behalf of my customers, some use Perl, some use Python, but most are multi-platform so I'm not sure that .NET or Powershell would fit?

For my own interest though, can you recommend any good sources for learning .NET and finding good code snippets to tailor and use?

Cheers

Andy

Here is the Task repository implemented: https://www.visualcron.c....aspx?g=posts&t=9428
