Hi,

I just downloaded VisualCron (the latest version) for evaluation. My company needs a comprehensive job / task monitoring tool that can send email notifications and insert into SQL databases if need be. VisualCron looks like it fits the bill perfectly, is flexible, frequently updated, and affordable.

I've just encountered a few weird issues, though. One is with conditions.

I've set up two conditions for a specific task within a job. One of them is "previous task exit code is 0" and the other is "previous task exit code is not 0".

When I go into these conditions to edit them, i.e. change the "is" to "is not" or something like that, everything seems fine until I hit "OK" to save. At that point, the UI thread seems to lock... I can go into the main visual cron window, but the task editing window has the hourglass and takes over a minute to properly save and close.

I'm not sure why this is happening or if it is a known bug or something to do with my job/task setup? Tips appreciated....

Thanks.

To clarify, this was occurring before the latest release too. I was using the version from about ten days ago, so this is not an issue with the current version specifically.

Also, I am almost positive I'm not using the conditions properly. Still reading the docs. What I'm trying to do is have a certain email notification go out when the task's exit code is 0, and a different one sent out when the task's exit code is not 0.

I know you can set up those checkboxes beside the email notifications (on error, on success, etc.) but I want to be able to set up a set of specific exit codes for my jobs so that various different actions can be taken.
