Starting, stopping, pausing, and resuming tasks in the command line

You can start and stop predefined and user tasks, except for tasks of the License type.

You can suspend and resume tasks of ODS, ODFIM, and InventoryScan types.

To start a task, execute the following command:

kess-control --start-task <task ID/name> [-W] [--progress]

where:

• <task ID/name> is the ID assigned to the task at the time of its creation, or the name of the task in the command line.
• [-W] is a command used in conjunction with the task start command to enable the display of current events associated with this task.
• Specify the [--progress] option if you want to display the progress of the task.

  Example: Start the task with ID 1 and enable the display of current events associated with the task: kess-control --start-task 1 -W

If an error occurs when starting a task and the task does not start, then after the application is restarted, an attempt is made to start the task again.

To stop a task, execute the following command:

kess-control --stop-task <task ID/name> [-W]

where:

• <task ID/name> is the ID assigned to the task at the time of its creation, or the name of the task in the command line.
• [-W] is a command used in conjunction with the stop task command to enable the display of current events associated with this task.

To suspend a task, execute the following command:

kess-control --suspend-task <task ID/name>

To resume a task, execute the following command:

kess-control --resume-task <task ID/name>
