# salt.modules.win_task

Windows Task Scheduler Module .. versionadded:: 2016.3.0

A module for working with the Windows Task Scheduler. You can add and edit existing tasks. You can add and clear triggers and actions. You can list all tasks, folders, triggers, and actions.

salt.modules.win_task.add_action(name=None, location='\\', action_type='Execute', **kwargs)

  Add an action to a task.

  Parameters:

    - name (str) -- The name of the task to which to add the action.

    - location (`str`, optional) -- A string value representing the location of the task. Default is `\` which is the root for the task scheduler (`C:\Windows\System32\tasks`).

    - action_type (`str`, optional) --

      The type of action to add. There are three action types. Each one requires its own set of Keyword Arguments (kwargs). Valid values are:

      - Execute

      - Email

      - Message

      Default is "Execute".

  Required keyword arguments for each action_type:

  Execute

  > Execute a command or an executable

  > > cmd (str):

  > >   (required) The command or executable to run.

  > > arguments (str):

  > >   (optional) Arguments to be passed to the command or executable. To launch a script the first command will need to be the interpreter for the script. For example, to run a vbscript you would pass `cscript.exe` in the `cmd` parameter and pass the script in the `arguments` parameter as follows:

  > >   > - `cmd='cscript.exe' arguments='c:\scripts\myscript.vbs'`

  > >   Batch files do not need an interpreter and may be passed to the cmd parameter directly.

  > > start_in (str):

  > >   (optional) The current working directory for the command.

  Email

  > Send and email. Requires `server`, `from`, and `to` or `cc`.

  > > from (str): The sender

  > > reply_to (str): Who to reply to

  > > to (str): The recipient

  > > cc (str): The CC recipient

  > > bcc (str): The BCC recipient

  > > subject (str): The subject of the email

  > > body (str): The Message Body of the email

  > > server (str): The server used to send the email

  > > attachments (list):

  > >   A list of attachments. These will be the paths to the files to attach. ie: `attachments="['C:\attachment1.txt', 'C:\attachment2.txt']"`

  Message

  > Display a dialog box. The task must be set to "Run only when user is logged on" in order for the dialog box to display. Both parameters are required.

  > > title (str):

  > >   The dialog box title.

  > > message (str):

  > >   The dialog box message body

  Returns:

    A dictionary containing the task configuration.

  Return type:

    dict
