Constructor Details

#initialize(task = nil, trigger = nil, folder = "\\", force = false) ⇒ TaskScheduler

Returns a new TaskScheduler object, attached to folder. If that folder does not exist, but the force option is set to true, then it will be created. Otherwise an error will be raised. The default is to use the root folder.

If task and trigger are present, then a new task is generated as well. This is effectively the same as .new + #new_work_item.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
