More versatile scheduling options to PA chores

I think current scheduling options to PA chores is out-dated.

You can set chore to run once per day, or you can set chore to run custom frequency days-hours-minutes-seconds. Thats it, no more options.

Real life scenarios to versatile scheduling options would be:

  • Set chore to run only specific days, for example run chore daily, but only in weekdays monday to friday.

  • Set chore to run specific times and frequency, for example run chore every hour, but limit it to only run in work hours.

  • Trigger by some event occurs, for example run this chore in first monday of month, or another example run this chore in last friday of month.

  • Trigger by resources, for example run this chore if disk space usage gets over % percent

I think those are good examples where I can imagine tens of good use-cases, where as now I have to use external ti-process at startup of chore as a workround to initiate all check-ups and then use ChoreQuit() function to terminate chore.


Any chance to put these kind of enrichment features to PA roadmap?


Thanks.
