Can you elaborate more on the RunJob COM function? It's not
entirely clear to me on what the "Detached" boolean does.
Referencing the API documentation, what's meant by "Run the job using
a separate instance of 24x7 scheduler"?
Does the function create its own instance of the 24x7 Remote Control
COM object?

I'm also interested in what "job specifics" might mean in the "Note:" section of
the documentation.

For the couple jobs I started with this call, and "Detached" equals FALSE,
24x7 job logs return an error message of "Unable to release thread JOB_THREAD0"
This error is not occur with "Detached" equal TRUE.

Any details would be great.

Thanks,

Detached means that the job is not run in the scheduler process memory space. It is run by a separate instance of 24x7.exe process. Basically this property controls how the job is invoked and run.

Using "detached=true" is the same as running the job from the DOS command line using "24x7.exe /JOB" command. If you open the Task Manager you will find 2 instances of 24x7.exe.

The function does not create its own instance of the 24x7 Remote Control COM component.

The detached option if set to true causes the job to run in the background. The control is returned back to the calling program immediately. If detached option is the set to false the job runs in the foreground and the control is returned back only after the job is complete.
