the Graphics WG needs to run daily graphics-oriented test jobs (actually, we only need to run them whenever something changes, but I think this is not implemented yet). We had previously scheduled a daily job as a cron job in the lab, but it seems that that got lost at some point.
Do you know who set the cron job up? If it's still there I'm sure we can restart it. If not, do you have the details of what tests were run?
Submitting test jobs from a remote machine (e.g. my desktop) is not really an option, since I think it's important for job runs to be independent of the availability of any one person's computer and network.
Our needs have begun to grow (we need more test jobs) and I would also like to experiment a bit, so pestering someone from the validation group to add or modify scheduled runs doesn't seem very efficient. I would much prefer to have an official mechanism that didn't require the direct intervention of the validation group (e.g. "My scheduled jobs" in the v.l.o web site).
This certainly strikes me as a great idea. Somewhere you could submit some json jobs that you set a regularity or set of rules on.
We would like to have a set of test jobs running again for 12.05. How do you propose we should handle this in the short-term?
As I said, if we can restart what was there, or get the details of what to run, then we can surely help you or point you in the right direction.
Thanks
Dave
