GUI questions

Hi there,

This is for the java edition.

If I am running the master in nogui mode, would I have to stop the master to then run the master in gui mode?
I guess this applies to the agents as well.

Thanks,

Sean

Yes, you should not run both at the same time from the same directory.

What would be the appropriate way to run the master?

I assume that most of the time you would run it in nogui mode in the background, then when you want to make changes or add jobs you would stop the scheduler and restart it in gui mode.

Is this correct?

What happens to jobs if the scheduler is stopped and restarted and the job was supposed to kick off when the scheduler was stopped?

Thanks again for the help,

Sean

The job will continue running while you are in the GUI mode. The GUI is not a separate utility. It is the same scheduler just run in a graphical mode.

Another way to modify jobs on-line is to use either command line console (can be started using console.sh or console.bat) or using web-based graphical console. Both consoles implement client-server mechanism between the console and the scheduler.

Maybe I'm confused here.

When I run in graphical mode, and I go to exit, the program asks me if I want to shut down. If I say yes the scheduler will stop correct?

How can I exit the graphical mode without shutting down the scheduler?

Yes, you need to stop it first

OK that's fine.

My last question is if when I have the scheduler stopped, if a job was to have kicked off during the time period when I have it stopped, when I re-start will the job kick off?

If not that's fine, we will have a time for maintenance.

Thanks again for all the help!!

No, they will no start. Time-based jobs will be missed in that event.
