Hi, i need to start a 30 seconds countdown on an trigger.

ex.

i have 2 jobs, 1 check something and another one ( the 30 second timer ) is disabled, when the first one its true active the second job and it start counting 30 seconds.

but i have a problem, the timer in visualcron need a start hour, so the 30 seconds does not start when I activate job but it refeer from the setup time, so its not a real countdown :(

any hint?


Thanks

Can't you use the Wait Task in your Job? You wait - and then do your check. Or check and Wait after. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you really want to do.

I try to explain it better

I need a job that run every 30 seconds but depends current time, example trigger active job on 13.15.11 , the job must run every 30 seconds, so 13.15.41 , 13.16.09 and so on.
if trigger active job 12.26.30 , 12.27.00 and son on

actually i set up a 30 seconds interval, but depends on the start setting of the intervall

ex.

interval each 30 seconds

startup hour: 8.27.40

the job its activated by trigger at 10.15.23

but the job start at 10.16.10 ( 30 seconds from the 40 of the sturtup ) , but i want thats start on 10.15.53

i hope you understand me, its hard to explain XD

Interval Trigger start depends on the startup hour,minute and second. I am not sure what you are saying here "but the job start at 10.16.10"? Are you deactivating/activating the Trigger or Job? I am not understanding if you are reporting a Bug or if you want to solve a problem?

You also say that you have 2 Jobs which confuses a bit - are you saying that the first Job, which has the Trigger, is delaying the start of the second?

I understand. Currently we don't have any such option but I will move it to Feature request.

There is a workaround:

1. Set the Job to run every second
2. Add Wait task to job that waits 30 seconds.

Since the Job is set to not start if is already running it will not execute until the Job is done which is Job runtime + 30 seconds.
