We have several jobs where we have enough resources on the server that it makes sense to be able to run multiple instances of the same job.

Currently we have to clone the job multiple times to enable this functionality. It would be nice if there was an option on the task screen where you could select how many instances you would like to be able to run. So I could choose to run (by default) 1 instance of a task, or up to some number. VisualCron would be responsible for spinning up multiple processes and controlling them as a group (i.e. if I stop the Job, then all processes would stop).

As always, keep up the good work, we really love the functionality in the product as it prevents us from having to code the same functionality over and over again.

Thanks.

In the main settings of the Job you have a check box "Do not run Job if it is running". By default it is checked. You can uncheck it to allow multiple instances of that Job.

I understand what you are saying. However, I need the ability to limit the number of instances that can run simultaneously. I'm curious what your thoughts are on this?

Thanks as always,

We have had similar requests before and it is very possible that you implement this. Please add any details to this post in form of settings for this feature.
