[chef] RE: Windows Scheduled Tasks

[Adam Barrand < >]

I had to write my own lwrp. 

 

def frequencyinterval(freq, intrvl)

       value = 1

       intrvl = intrvl.to_i

       case freq

       when "MINUTE"

              (intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 1439) ? value = intrvl : value = 1

       when "HOURLY"

              (intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 23) ? value = intrvl : value = 1

       when "DAILY"

              (intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 365) ? value = intrvl : value = 1

       when "MONTHLY"

              (intrvl >= 1 && intrvl <= 12) ? value = intrvl : value = 1

       end

       value

end

 

action :create do

       puts "Creating scheduled task #{new_resource.taskname}"

      

       case "#{new_resource.frequency}"

       when "ONSTART"

       when "LASTDAY"

              system("schtasks /create /tn \"#{new_resource.taskname}\" /tr \"#{new_resource.path} #{new_resource.arguments}\" /sc #{new_resource.frequency} /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /F")

       else

              interval = frequencyinterval("#{new_resource.frequency}", "#{new_resource.interval}")

              system("schtasks /create /tn \"#{new_resource.taskname}\" /tr \"#{new_resource.path} #{new_resource.arguments}\" /sc #{new_resource.frequency} /mo #{interval} /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /F")

       end

       puts "#{new_resource.taskname} was created."

end

 

action :delete do

       puts "Deleting scheduled task #{new_resource.taskname}"

       system("schtasks /delete /tn \"#{new_resource.taskname}\" /f")

       puts "Deleted task #{new_resource.taskname}"

end

 

action :deleteall do

       puts "Deleting all scheduled tasks"

       system("schtasks /delete /tn * /f")

       puts "All scheduled tasks deleted"

end

 

 

action :modify do

       puts "Modifying #{new_resource.taskname}"

       system("schtasks /change /tn #{new_resource.taskname} /tr #{new_resource.path} /RI")    

       puts "Modified #{new_resource.taskname}"

end

Anyone have any suggestions for scheduled tasks cookbooks that work well with both 2003 and 2008 Windows Server?
