Hello!
I finally managed to make my first scheduled task, only 1 minor question: Is there a way for my script to determine where it's running from?
I'd like it to behave a certain way if it's running as a scheduled task versus me running it manually or even lately it getting called from the web app.
Thank you!
You could look at the machine's hostname using socket.gethostname() -- if it contains task then your code is running in a scheduled task, if it contains console then you're running in a console, and if it contains web then it's in a web app.
Great, that seems to have done the trick, thanks
No problem! For completeness, I should mention that if you want to check if you're running in an always-on task, then you can look for alwayson in the hostname.
