Seconds on a ScheduleTask

Hi,

I see that a ScheduleTask class has a property named 'Seconds' and a comment stating: "Gets or sets the run period (in seconds)".

What does this property do? Abort the task after given seconds?

Other question. Can I use the ScheduleTaskService, to insert a task that should be executed, once a day, everyday?

Thanks!

Yes, this properly is for seconds.
You can insert directly in database also with the time duration (seconds) in 86400 (24 Hours).

Does this helps?

Thanks for your answer.

But is it the time till this task gets executed? Or is it the maximum time allowed for the task to be completed? I have a task that can take some hours to complete and other times it could be completed in a few minutes (synchronizing data). What whould I set it at? nopCommerce shouldn't cancel it after x seconds.

The time you provided is the time interval when this task will executed.
Suppose you want to execute 1 task every 1 hour, then set it as (60min * 60 sec) = 3600
This is what interval only.
