A small tool program to self time yourself on the popular chat program Paltalk. One exe file only. No installation, just place the program file into a convenient folder. Optionally drag it and pin it to the task bar for quick launch. Quick time set in 1 min. Intervals up to. Generally you run a scheduled task that has a finite run time and then the task exits. I don't understand what sort of task you would have that would start a new instance every hour but never exit. If it is a task that never exits, then you need to build your own timer into the task. That is beyond the scope of the task scheduler. The following takes a few more lines but is clear and understandable. It saves stdout and stderr to separate files, each with a timestamp. The timestamp includes year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, in that order.

Logic Apps helps you create and run automated recurring tasks and processes on a schedule. By creating a logic app workflow that starts with a built-in Recurrence trigger or Sliding Window trigger, which are Schedule-type triggers, you can run tasks immediately, at a later time, or on a recurring interval. You can call services inside and outside Azure, such as HTTP or HTTPS endpoints, post messages to Azure services such as Azure Storage and Azure Service Bus, or get files uploaded to a file share. With the Recurrence trigger, you can also set up complex schedules and advanced recurrences for running tasks. To learn more about the built-in Schedule triggers and actions, see Schedule triggers and Schedule actions.

Tip

You can schedule and run recurring workloads without creating a separate logic app for each scheduled job and running into the limit on workflows per region and subscription. Instead, you can use the logic app pattern that's created by the Azure QuickStart template: Logic Apps job scheduler.

The Logic Apps job scheduler template creates a CreateTimerJob logic app that calls a TimerJob logic app. You can then call the CreateTimerJob logic app as an API by making an HTTP request and passing a schedule as input for the request. Each call to the CreateTimerJob logic app also calls the TimerJob logic app, which creates a new TimerJob instance that continuously runs based on the specified schedule or until meeting a specified limit. That way, you can run as many TimerJob instances as you want without worrying about workflow limits because instances aren't individual logic app workflow definitions or resources.

This list shows some example tasks that you can run with the Schedule built-in triggers:

• Get internal data, such as run a SQL stored procedure every day.

• Get external data, such as pull weather reports from NOAA every 15 minutes.

• Send report data, such as email a summary for all orders greater than a specific amount in the past week.

• Process data, such as compress today's uploaded images every weekday during off-peak hours.

• Clean up data, such as delete all tweets older than three months.

• Archive data, such as push invoices to a backup service at 1:00 AM every day for the next nine months.

You can also use the Schedule built-in actions to pause your workflow before the next action runs, for example:

• Wait until a weekday to send a status update over email.

• Delay the workflow until an HTTP call has time to finish before resuming and retrieving the result.

This article describes the capabilities for the Schedule built-in triggers and actions.

Schedule triggers

You can start your logic app workflow by using the Recurrence trigger or Sliding Window trigger, which isn't associated with any specific service or system. These triggers start and run your workflow based on your specified recurrence where you select the interval and frequency, such as the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. You can also set the start date and time along with the time zone. Each time that a trigger fires, Logic Apps creates and runs a new workflow instance for your logic app.

Here are the differences between these triggers:

• Recurrence: Runs your workflow at regular time intervals based on your specified schedule. If the trigger misses recurrences, for example, due to disruptions or disabled workflows, the Recurrence trigger doesn't process the missed recurrences but restarts recurrences with the next scheduled interval.

  If you select Day as the frequency, you can specify the hours of the day and minutes of the hour, for example, every day at 2:30. If you select Week as the frequency, you can also select days of the week, such as Wednesday and Saturday. You can also specify a start date and time along with a time zone for your recurrence schedule.

  Tip

  If a recurrence doesn't specify a specific start date and time, the first recurrence runs immediatelywhen you save or deploy the logic app, despite your trigger's recurrence setup. To avoid this behavior, provide a startdate and time for when you want the first recurrence to run.

  If a recurrence doesn't specify any other advanced scheduling options such as specific times to run future recurrences,those recurrences are based on the last run time. As a result, the start times for those recurrences might drift due tofactors such as latency during storage calls. To make sure that your logic app doesn't miss a recurrence, especially whenthe frequency is in days or longer, try these options:

  • Provide a start date and time for the recurrence plus the specific times when to run subsequent recurrences by using the propertiesnamed At these hours and At these minutes, which are available only for the Day and Week frequencies.

  • Use the Sliding Window trigger, rather than the Recurrence trigger.

  For more information, see Create, schedule, and run recurring tasks and workflows with the Recurrence trigger.

• Sliding Window: Runs your workflow at regular time intervals that handle data in continuous chunks. If the trigger misses recurrences, for example, due to disruptions or disabled workflows, the Sliding Window trigger goes back and processes the missed recurrences.

  You can specify a start date and time, time zone, and a duration to delay each recurrence in your workflow. This trigger doesn't support advanced schedules, for example, specific hours of the day, minutes of the hour, and days of the week. For more information, see Create, schedule, and run recurring tasks and workflows with the Sliding Window trigger.

Schedule actions

After any action in your logic app workflow, you can use the Delay and Delay Until actions to make your workflow wait before the next action runs.

• Delay: Wait to run the next action for the specified number of time units, such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. For more information, see Delay the next action in workflows.

• Delay until: Wait to run the next action until the specified date and time. For more information, see Delay the next action in workflows.

Patterns for start date and time

Here are some patterns that show how you can control recurrence with the start date and time, and how the Logic Apps service runs these recurrences:

Example for past start time and recurrence but no schedule

Suppose the current date and time is September 8, 2017 at 1:00 PM. You specify the start date and time as September 7, 2017 at 2:00 PM, which is in the past, and a recurrence that runs every two days.

For the Recurrence trigger, the Logic Apps engine calculates run times based on the start time, discards past run times, uses the next future start time for the first run, and calculates future runs based on the last run time.

Here's how this recurrence looks:

So, no matter how far in the past you specify the start time, for example, 2017-09-05 at 2:00 PM or 2017-09-01 at 2:00 PM, your first run always uses the next future start time.

For the Sliding Window trigger, the Logic Apps engine calculates run times based on the start time, honors past run times, uses the start time for the first run, and calculates future runs based on the start time.

Here's how this recurrence looks:

So, no matter how far in the past you specify the start time, for example, 2017-09-05 at 2:00 PM or 2017-09-01 at 2:00 PM, your first run always uses the specified start time.

Recurrence for daylight saving time and standard time

Recurring built-in triggers honor the schedule that you set, including any time zone that you specify. If you don't select a time zone, daylight saving time (DST) might affect when triggers run, for example, shifting the start time one hour forward when DST starts and one hour backward when DST ends. When scheduling jobs, Logic Apps puts the message for processing into the queue and specifies when that message becomes available, based on the UTC time when the last job ran and the UTC time when the next job is scheduled to run.

To avoid this shift so that your logic app runs at your specified start time, make sure that you select a time zone. That way, the UTC time for your logic app also shifts to counter the seasonal time change.

Note

Triggers that start between 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM might have problems because DST changes happen at 2:00 AM, which mightcause the start time to become invalid or ambiguous. If you have multiple logic apps within the same ambiguous interval,they might overlap. For this reason, you might want to avoid start times between 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM.

For example, suppose that you have two logic apps that run daily. One logic app runs at 1:30 AM local time, while the other runs an hour later at 2:30 AM local time. What happens to the starting times for these apps when DST starts and ends?

• Do the triggers run at all when the time shifts one hour forward?

• Do the triggers run twice when the time shifts one hour backward?

If these logic apps use the UTC-6:00 Central Time (US & Canada) zone, this simulation shows how the UTC times shifted in 2019 to counter the DST changes, moving one hour backward or forward as necessary so that the apps continued running at the expected local times without skipped or duplicate runs.

• 03/10/2019: DST starts at 2:00 AM, shifting time one hour forward

  To compensate after DST starts, UTC time shifts one hour backward so that your logic app continues running at the same local time:

  • Logic app #1

    Date	Time (local)	Time (UTC)	Notes
    03/09/2019	1:30:00 AM	7:30:00 AM	UTC before the day that DST takes effect.
    03/10/2019	1:30:00 AM	7:30:00 AM	UTC is the same because DST hasn't taken effect.
    03/11/2019	1:30:00 AM	6:30:00 AM	UTC shifted one hour backward after DST took effect.

  • Logic app #2

    Date	Time (local)	Time (UTC)	Notes
    03/09/2019	2:30:00 AM	8:30:00 AM	UTC before the day that DST takes effect.
    03/10/2019	3:30:00 AM*	8:30:00 AM	DST is already in effect, so local time has moved one hour forward because the UTC-6:00 time zone changes to UTC-5:00. For more information, see Triggers that start between 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM.
    03/11/2019	2:30:00 AM	7:30:00 AM	UTC shifted one hour backward after DST took effect.

• 11/03/2019: DST ends at 2:00 AM and shifts time one hour backward

  To compensate, UTC time shifts one hour forward so that your logic app continues running at the same local time:

  • Logic app #1

    Date	Time (local)	Time (UTC)	Notes
    11/02/2019	1:30:00 AM	6:30:00 AM
    11/03/2019	1:30:00 AM	6:30:00 AM
    11/04/2019	1:30:00 AM	7:30:00 AM

  • Logic app #2

    Date	Time (local)	Time (UTC)	Notes
    11/02/2019	2:30:00 AM	7:30:00 AM
    11/03/2019	2:30:00 AM	8:30:00 AM
    11/04/2019	2:30:00 AM	8:30:00 AM

Run one time only

If you want to run your logic app only at one time in the future, you can use the Scheduler: Run once jobs template. After you create a new logic app but before opening the Logic Apps Designer, under the Templates section, from the Category list, select Schedule, and then select this template:

Or, if you can start your logic app with the When a HTTP request is received - Request trigger, and pass the start time as a parameter for the trigger. For the first action, use the Delay until - Schedule action, and provide the time for when the next action starts running.

• Meet our time tracking market definition.

This definition states that 'Time tracking software helps individuals, teams, and organizations across industries keep track of employee time spent on work efforts, i.e., the time spent on tasks/projects, job sites, shift work, client work, etc. These tools provide insight into level of effort, profitability, and employee habits ultimately helping improve user productivity as well as workload and job planning.'

Software that met the market definition also needed a minimum of 20 user-submitted reviews published between June 30, 2018 – June 30, 2019, and have an above-average overall user rating compared to other products in the category.

• 'Top' free tools were rated at least 4.5/5 stars overall by users.

Lastly, our time tracking directory lists a variety of time tracking tools that reflect the multifaceted needs of buyers, i.e., tracking time for HR/payroll, construction, project management, legal etc. As such, to identify the best tools for project managers, we analyzed our reviews and chose tools that had a high number of reviews from project managers specifically.
