Tasks represent the kinds of activities that adTempus is able to automate. Each step of a job executes a single task.
adTempus includes the following tasks:
The Program Execution task executes an external program, batch file, document, etc.
The Script Execution task executes an internal or external script.
The Notification Task sends notification messages.
The Computer Shutdown Task shuts down or restarts the computer.
The Service Control task starts, stops, or monitors a service.
The Process Termination task terminates a running program.
The Web Request task requests a page or file from a Web server.
The SQL Server Job tasks runs a SQL Server Agent job.
adTempus allows application developers to create their own task types, so additional task types may be available to you depending on the other software installed on your computer.
To perform actions in response to state changes during the execution of a job (for example, to send notification if a task fails, or link jobs together), use Responses.
