Run Task Repeatedly Until Manually Stopped

[DEE]

I need to run and rerun a task repeatedly until I manually stop it. Is this possible? Maybe I can have the task call itself?

Thanks for your help.

You can't call itself from the task. Each task can be started only once.

But there is While Loop. You easily can make infinite loop.
Like this:

Code: Select all

while true
   ....
   put you steps here 
   ....
end loop

Another way (recommended):
You can attach Cyclic trigger to the task. You can set 1 or 2 seconds period.

Thanks Oleg, the Cyclic trigger would be perfect, except that I never know how long this task needs to complete.

I'll try the loop.

Thanks!

... except that I never know how long this task needs to complete.

This is not a problem. The task will be running only once. Cyclic trigger will start the task only when it will be possible.

Works great, thanks for the quick reply!
