The "User Tasks" are groups of various tasks, that can be started all at once, either manually (see Start Tasks) or automatically by actions (see Setup Action Task) or periodically by a scheduler (see Setup Scheduler Tasks).
User Task:
This drop down list shows all available User Tasks.
You can edit its contained tasks with the Edit button, add a new User Task with the Add button and delete the currently selected one with the Delete button.
Please note, that the names of User Tasks are also used as filenames (name.hut), so some characters like "\" or ":" are not accepted when adding a new one.
Tasks to execute:
This is the list of tasks that will be executed from top to down whenever this User Task is started.
To add a task, select it on the list on the right side and press the Left-Arrow
button.
To remove a task, select it in the list on the left side and press the Right-Arrow
button.
To change the sequence of tasks, select a task on the left side and move it up
with the Up-Arrow button or move it down with the Down-Arrow
button.
To save your changes, press the Save button, to discard all changes, press the Undo button.
Available Tasks:
This is the list of all available tasks that can be added to the list on the left side. It is filled with all tasks that are possible with your current setup, e. g. it shows a "NEWS" line for every newsserver you have defined.
Each entry in the list starts with an upper case keyword, some followed by parameters like server names. The meaning of the keywords is as follows:
| MAILS-FETCH | Fetch mails from the given POP3 mailserver |
| MAILS-SEND | Send mails to the given SMTP mailserver |
| MAILS-SEND-MX | Send mails in MX mode |
| NEWS | Pull and Post news from/to the given NNTP newsserver |
| RAS-DIAL | Dial the given RAS connection This command is ignored if there is already a RAS connection established. If dialing fails, no further tasks are executed. |
| RAS-HANGUP | Hangup RAS connection Please note, that this command only terminates a connection, that was previously established by the same User Task. Such a RAS-HANGUP is automatically executed at the end of a User Task, so you normally don't have to add one. |
| RAS-REQUIRED | Stop here if no RAS connection is establish yet. |
| SCRIPT | Start the given script and continue immediately |
| SCRIPT-WAIT | Start the given script and wait until it is finished |
| WAIT | Wait until all previously started tasks are finished Such a WAIT is automatically executed at the end of a User Task, so you normally don't have to add one. Note: WAIT does not wait for additional tasks started by SCRIPT commands, you have to use WAIT-ALL in this case. |
| WAIT-ALL | Wait until all currently running tasks are finished, regardless of how they were started. |
