Description

{ cron: string; } | string | HumanDuration /** * This task will only run when manually triggered with the `triggerTask` method; no automatic * scheduling. This is useful for locking of global tasks that should not be run concurrently. */ | { trigger: 'manual'; }

How often you want the task to run. The system does its best to avoid overlapping invocations.

initialDelay?

string | HumanDuration

(Optional) The amount of time that should pass before the first invocation happens.

scope?

'global' | 'local'

(Optional) Sets the scope of concurrency control / locking to apply for invocations of this task.

timeout

string | HumanDuration

The maximum amount of time that a single task invocation can take, before it's considered timed out and gets "released" such that a new invocation is permitted to take place (possibly, then, on a different worker).
