Detailed Description

A scheduled task is some information about a folder job that should be run later.

As long as it's not running, it's called a "task", i.e. something that needs to be done. Tasks are held in the JobScheduler.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ScheduledTask()

KMail::ScheduledTask::ScheduledTask ( KMFolder folder,
bool  immediate 
)
inline

Create a scheduled task for a given folder If immediate is true, the scheduler will run this task as soon as possible (but won't interrupt a currently running job for it)

Definition at line 59 of file jobscheduler.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ folder()

KMFolder* KMail::ScheduledTask::folder ( void  ) const
inline

The folder which this task is about, 0 if it was deleted meanwhile.

Definition at line 79 of file jobscheduler.h.

◆ run()

virtual ScheduledJob* KMail::ScheduledTask::run ( )
pure virtual

Run this task, i.e.

create a job for it. Important: the job's execute() method must either call open() on the folder or storage immediately, or abort (deleting itself). Usually, that job should also be cancellable. Otherwise (if the open() is delayed) an unrelated open() could happen first and mess things up. If for some reason (e.g. folder deleted) nothing should be done, return 0.

Implemented in KMail::ScheduledExpireTask, and KMail::ScheduledCompactionTask.

◆ taskTypeId()

virtual int KMail::ScheduledTask::taskTypeId ( ) const
pure virtual

An identifier for the type of task (a bit like TQListViewItem::rtti) This allows to automatically prevent two identical tasks from being scheduled for the same folder.

To circumvent this feature and make every task unique, return 0 here.

Implemented in KMail::ScheduledExpireTask, and KMail::ScheduledCompactionTask.
