Hi, I'm working on a functionality related to job scheduling in Java, where I'm required to schedule jobs based on days, weeks, or hours. I'm running into 2 problems: What is a good representation/library to handle a duration of time (not date)? What is a good library to parse a text representation of time, i.e. 2d 3wk for 3 weeks a...
A prof once told us in class that Windows, Linux, OS X and UNIX scale on threads and not processes, so threads would likely benefit your application even on a single processor because your application would be getting more time on the CPU. I tried with the following code on my machine (which only has one CPU). #include <stdio.h> #inclu...
I've read a few posts here on StackOverflow about task scheduling, but I'm not sure that I get it right. I'm coding (in VB.Net) a backup application, that I'd like to add as a scheduled task (in fact, I'd just like to let the user decide to run it every day at, for example, 3 AM). I've read posts suggesting to use a windows service for ...

I am happy if already started download finishes after 8am but what is the best method to make sure that the script starts downloading after 1am? I want to run the script and go to sleep. I...
I'm working on a simple application that will generate time table (daily planner) for schools. I've read up basics of algorithms, but confused as to where to start. The problem: Allocate teachers to classes taking into consideration a lot of constraints like: 1) Subject 2) Expertise of teacher 3) Not more than 2 classes continuously.....
Hi All, SCENARIO: Previously Jobs are scheduled to run from SQL Server. In the SQL Server database the jobs ran as per their start times mentioned. All the operations such as stopping the running job,starting the job are done by right clicking on the job. View history for the job (status,starttime and endtime of the job) is done by ri...
To create a scheduled class, I call the schtasks command from my code, passing it the necessary arguments. Yet, I can't really figure out how to create a task without the user having to input his password. ...
Hey all im building this application in which i have a client represented by a thread, running in loop (until it receives the instruction to terminate) trying to access a critical section of data in the server. When the first client connects to the server, he owns the lock to that mutex. all the subsequent connections are put to a hold...
I have some doubt regarding locking mechanism of Quartz scheduling. If we have Quartz cluster as JDBC Job store. One of the node (Node-1) starts processing the job A. And then because of some reason Node-1 goes down. Now this job is in fact locked by Node-1. So how other nodes identify that Node-1 is down one of them has to start proce...
I have a need to run a piece of code every 120 seconds. I am looking for an easy way to do this in VBA. I know that it would be possible to get the timer value from the Auto_Open event to prevent having to use a magic number, but I can't quite get how to fire off a timer to get something to run every 120 seconds. I don't really want...
Possible Duplicate: How to estimate the length of a programming task This might be out of scope for this website. If it is, let me know and I'll remove the question. After 15 years in the industry, I still suck at answering the question "How long do you think X will take?" For scheduling purposes, we always have to give an ...
I have a number of users I support that are asking for things to happen automatically ( well more automagically but that's another point!). One want events to happen every 120 secs ( see my other question ) and also another wants 1 thing to happen say at 5pm each business day. This has to be on the Excel sheet so therefore VBA as addin...
hi, I am trying to setup a scheduled task on W2k3 on a remote machine, which need to access the .Net library on UNC path. Service account and password is given to this task. It is working fine when logged on to this remote box using service account, but when logged off, the task always fail as starting due to cannot find the library. ...
Hey Everyone, I want to schedule events to happen for my users. Is there an efficient way to do this in Python/Django easily? I'd prefer not to poll a priority queue. Thanks! Edit: I want to clarify that this job is run per user, for potentially hundreds or thousands of users. ...
I'm writing an iPhone app for a client, and they have requested a feature whereby the app "wakes up" at certain times during the day to display a message to the user. I'm well aware that I can't have the application run in the background and simply move to the foreground at the appropriate time (short of requiring jailbreaking, which is...

I am making a website for a side project at school where students enter the classes they need to take, what days they want or don't want classes, and when they cant have or don't want classes. The basics are there are classes, and each class has many sections at different times with different professors that a student can choose from. Wi...
I am trying to come up with an algorithm to do the following: I have total 12 cells that I need to fill until program stops. I have 3 rows and each row has 4 columns. As an example, let me illustrate this as in airplane. So you have 3 rows and each row has 4 columns and you have window/aisle seats. Each row will have a window seat, ais...
Hi. I have a j2ee web application which supports scheduling of execution of jobs.

Do you have any suggestion. Im so...
