Automating Tasks with Task Master

The Task Master is an application that is used to set up a Task that can be run on a defined schedule or based upon a data collection event from a datalogger. A Task can be data collection from another datalogger, FTP of a collected file, or anything that can be executed in a computing environment, such as a command line operation, a program executable, a batch file, or a script.

It can be used to launch third party software utilities such as a command line FTP client to send data to the Internet or a phone dialer to call or text a phone upon an alarm condition.

Also note that when running LoggerNet as a service, tasks being run by the Task Master cannot interact with the desktop. Therefore, any tasks set up in the Task Master should not require any user interaction.
