Hi folks,
I'm using Win32::TaskScheduler to schedule tasks, sometimes on the local
host, sometimes on remote hosts. My problem is that I can't figure out
what to set the target computer for, when I want the local host. That
is, what parameter do I feed to SetTargetComputer() when I want it to
target the local host? Can I do this without knowing the name of the
local host?
I've found that if I create a new TaskScheduler, then by default it
operates on the local host. But if I change it to point at another
host, then want to point it back at the local host, I don't know how,
without knowing the name of the local host. It isn't convenient, the
way my code is set up, to create a new TaskScheduler every time,
either. I've tried '\\', which fails, and the empty string, which
succeeds for SetTargetComputer(), but fails when I call NewWorkItem().
According to MSDN, you're supposed to feed SetTargetComputer() a NULL to
get it to target the local host. But I don't have any way of passing a
NULL to the Perl version. I tried undef, and that generates an error.
I tried 0, and that fails.
Any ideas?
