The Scheduler

You have the choice between three schedulers: the Background Scheduler (default), the Foreground Scheduler, and the Service Scheduler (Professional Edition only).

Background Scheduler
This is the default scheduler. It will run in the background in a separate process. All status and progress information can be seen on the Scheduler tab sheet. You can actually make the background scheduler visible by clicking on its icon in the info area.

The Background Scheduler usually starts when you log in. You can select this in the Tools and Settings menu. You can also choose whether to start profiles in parallel (simultaneously).

Foreground Scheduler
While the Foreground Scheduler is running, you cannot access any other parts of the software. For that reason, this scheduler type is rarely used (only for testing/debugging).

Service Scheduler
The service scheduler runs as a system daemon, and it can start running after a reboot even if you don't log in. It must be used especially when you need to run jobs "as root" and don't want to have to enter your password every time the scheduler starts.
