I've seen there is a TaskScheduler module available in Internet as an additional package for Umbraco.
I am running Umbraco 4.5.2 and I've seen also that there is a <scheduledTasks /> section in umbracoSettings.config.
I guess that TaskScheduler permits to handle and configure the tasks to run in Umbraco backend. But further than this, what are the main differences between the two approaches? Can someone provide a brief insight on the matter?
Afaik the package adds a scheduled task for you and sets up logic to help you handle tasks at the scheduled moments you like. With the built in scheduler there is only an interval option. So you'll have to write some code to handle schedules like "8 o clock each day" or "each monday and friday".
As Jonas said the Umbraco scheduled tasks schedule a url for a certain interval. With TaskScheduler you can schedule an Url for a certain day/time Th TaskScheduler is built on top op the Umbraco Scheduled task functionality.
just for general interest, can you guys give me popular scenarios how do you use the TaskScheduler package. if find that interesting to see how people use packages in a ways that i didnt think about.
There is no updated package for 4.x Make sure it's added to ScheduledTasks section and make sure the website is running. then it should pick up the scheduled tasks.
TaskScheduler module vs. scheduledTasks
Hi folks,
I've seen there is a TaskScheduler module available in Internet as an additional package for Umbraco.
I am running Umbraco 4.5.2 and I've seen also that there is a <scheduledTasks /> section in umbracoSettings.config.
I guess that TaskScheduler permits to handle and configure the tasks to run in Umbraco backend. But further than this, what are the main differences between the two approaches? Can someone provide a brief insight on the matter?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Gianluca.

Appears TaskScheduler no longer works with latest versions of Umbraco.
Hi Richard,
In umbraco 4.11.8 TaskScheduler 1.0 not working can you provide me updated package.
