Using advanced scheduler (business/corporate version only)
Groups
Using advanced scheduler you can tune up your actions using groups of computers. First of all you need to define these groups (the number of groups is unlimited). Each group contain list of computers, separated by comma and unique title used to denote the group. A group can be added, edited or deleted
(Note, business license suggests the only one group containing 'My computer').
Each group can be specified with its own custom password to use for remote commands. The appropriate clients of the group should be installed with the same password or without any password.
Schedule action
The following setting can be specified with an action scheduled:
- First of all, a group should be specified an action will be scheduled for.
- Week day the action execution scheduled on. May be specified any of 'Monday' to 'Sunday' or special value 'Any' that indicates any day of week.
- Time of execution in form 'hour:minute'.
- The actual action scheduling.
The following options are not necessary to define with the scheduler entry and can be used optionally:
- 'Custom message/command' - when it is defined the appropriate message (or command when specified 'Execute' action) on the main RSHUT window will be substituted with this. That does mean you can enter reason of the action will be send to all clients that will describe exactly this scheduled action and do not worry about what is specified in the main RSHUT window. The message specified on the main RSHUT window will be used when no custom message/command is provided.
- 'Custom action timeout' - specifies timeout for the action. If it is not selected the main timeout is used.
- 'Date': Exact Date or Week of Month may be specified to run the action.
- 'Onetime action' - specifies that the action will be executed once, and then it will be disabled (but not deleted). Anytime after you can enable it again just selecting checkmark on the left side of the action in actions list on the scheduler window.
- 'Hot-Key' - hot key may be specified with the action. I.e. you will be able start this action any time just pressing this hot key, no matter whatever time or day the action scheduled for. Note that the hot-key is available even if this scheduled action is not enabled.
All scheduled actions (both enabled and not) are displayed on the main window of scheduler. To edit any select it in the list and click 'Edit' or select it in the list and double-click with left mouse button.
Schedule an action on low CPU usage
The action selected on the main RSHUT window can be scheduled on low CPU usage. To do this enable the option 'Do action if CPU usage less than' on the scheduler dialog and enter threshold value (in percents) which will be used to keep track for CPU usage. Also you need enter the number of minutes during which CPU usage should be less than specified value in order to the action be activated.
To specify that the action should be executed once select the option 'Onetime action'. So the option to execute action on low CPU usage will be disabled once it will be executed.
Schedule an action on process exit
The action selected on the main RSHUT window can be scheduled on a process exit. To do this enable the option 'Do action when process will exit' on the scheduler dialog and then select the process you wish be tracked for its exit from the list of all processes in RAM (RSHUT will provide you the full list of running processes).
Also you can manually enter the process name to an appropriate field (if it is not in RAM yet).
So if you have enabled the option here RSHUT will track processes list for the event the process specified will leave it (actually - exits), RSHUT will detect that the process being in RAM had gone away and will run the action specified.
To specify that the action should be executed once select the option 'Onetime action'. So the option to execute action on process exit will be disabled once it will be executed.
Define main hot-key for an action
A hot-key can be defined for quick start of the current action selected in the main RSHUT window. To do it - enter necessary hot-key you want to define on the scheduler window.
