In Windows Server 2008/2008R2 you can set task to repeat every number of hours you want, corresponding drop down menu just present you with 1 hour option to select, but you can type in any number of hours you need (see screenshot below). &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

You could just set it up to run every hour, and at the beginning of the PHP script, check the current time, and exit if the current hour modulus 4 wasn&#39;t zero.

Where it says &quot;repeat task every&quot;, you may also just be able to change &quot;1 hour&quot; to &quot;4 hours&quot; (it&#39;s not in the dropdown, so just type it in).  You can do this in Windows 7, I&#39;m not sure about Windows Server 2008.

Are you supposed to have one repository per table in JPA? If not, how do you resolve the generics in the repository database?

For example, below is a `StoreRepository`. It handles _CRUD_ operations on the `Store` object. If I wanted the repository to save a `StoreEvent` object as well, how would I go about changing the interface below to accommodate both objects?

    @Repository
    public interface StoreRepository extends JpaRepository&lt;Store, String&gt; {
        public Store findByGuid(String guid);
    }

I would like to purge my SQL database from all entires older than 1 week, and I&#39;d like to do it nightly. So, I&#39;m going to set up a cron job. How do I query mySQL without having to enter my password manually every time?

The query in PHP is as follows:

    mysql_query(&quot;DELETE FROM tbl_message WHERE DATEDIFF( NOW( ) ,  timestamp ) &gt;=7&quot;);

Is there a way to run this as a shell script? If not, is there a way of making cron run a php file?

I&#39;m using the Git Bash in Windows and for the purposes of my custom `git log` format, I&#39;d like to modify the terminal&#39;s exact RGB color values so I can fine-tune the color outputs. My git log format is as follows in my global `.gitconfig`:

    lg1 = log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --format=format:&#39;%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset)%x09%C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset) %C(dim white)%an%C(reset) - %C(white)%s%C(reset)&#39; --branches --remotes --tags

I&#39;d like to define in Git Bash what RGB value actually maps to &#39;blue&#39;, for example. Any idea how I can do this? Step by step instructions would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

EDIT

I setup my .bashrc and it isn&#39;t working for some reason. Colors aren&#39;t changing :-(. Here is a script I ran to see colors: http://pastebin.com/9EsYmGCj and the result: http://i.imgur.com/1dJ3o1a.png

I need to be able determine the path of the network Q drive at work for a WEBMethods project. The code that I have before is in my configuration file. I placed single character leters inside of the directories just for security reasons. I am not sure what the semi-colon is for, but I think that the double slashes are were the drive name comes to play.

Question: Is there an easy way on a Windows 7 machine to find out what the full path of the UNC is for any specific drive location?

Code:

    allowedWritePaths=Q:/A/B/C/D/E/
    allowedReadPaths=C:/A/B;//itpr99999/c$/A/FileName.txt
    allowedDeletePaths=

I have several methods annotated with `@Scheduled(fixedDelay=10000)`.

In the application context, I have this annotation-driven setup:

    &lt;task:annotation-driven /&gt;

The problem is, sometimes some of the method executions get delayed by seconds and even minutes.

I&#39;m assuming that even if a method takes a while to finish executing, the other methods would still execute. So I don&#39;t understand the delay.  

Is there a way to maybe lessen or even remove the delay?

Does spring @Scheduled annotated methods runs on different threads?

Before I ask, **Cron Jobs and Task Scheduler** will be my last options, this script will be used across Windows and Linux and I&#39;d prefer to have a coded out method of doing this than leaving this to the end user to complete.

Is there a library for Python that I can use to schedule tasks? I will need to run a function once every hour, however, over time if I run a script once every hour and use .sleep, &quot;once every hour&quot; will run at a different part of the hour from the previous day due to the delay inherent to executing/running the script and/or function.

What is the **best** way to schedule a function to run at a specific time of day (more than once) *without* using a Cron Job or scheduling it with Task Scheduler?

*Or if this is not possible, I would like your input as well.*



## **AP Scheduler fit my needs exactly.**

### Version &lt; 3.0

    import datetime
    import time
    from apscheduler.scheduler import Scheduler
    
    # Start the scheduler
    sched = Scheduler()
    sched.daemonic = False
    sched.start()
    
    def job_function():
        print(&quot;Hello World&quot;)
        print(datetime.datetime.now())
        time.sleep(20)
    
    # Schedules job_function to be run once each minute
    sched.add_cron_job(job_function,  minute=&#39;0-59&#39;)

out:

    &gt;Hello World
    &gt;2014-03-28 09:44:00.016.492
    &gt;Hello World
    &gt;2014-03-28 09:45:00.0.14110

### Version &gt; 3.0
(From Animesh Pandey&#39;s answer below)

    from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
    
    sched = BlockingScheduler()
    
    @sched.scheduled_job(&#39;interval&#39;, seconds=10)
    def timed_job():
        print(&#39;This job is run every 10 seconds.&#39;)
    
    @sched.scheduled_job(&#39;cron&#39;, day_of_week=&#39;mon-fri&#39;, hour=10)
    def scheduled_job():
        print(&#39;This job is run every weekday at 10am.&#39;)
    
    sched.configure(options_from_ini_file)
    sched.start()

What&#39;s the main difference between `scheduleAtFixedRate` and `scheduleWithFixedDelay` methods of [ScheduledExecutorService][1]?

    scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println(&quot;scheduleAtFixedRate:    &quot; + new Date());
        }
    }, 1, 3L , SECONDS);

    scheduler.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println(&quot;scheduleWithFixedDelay: &quot; + new Date());
        }
    }, 1, 3L , SECONDS);

they print exact the same time, seems they are executed at exact the same interval.

When I run CodedUI Test from a small Console tool via `vstest.console.exe` from a scheduled task I sometimes see this error message on different PCs:

&gt; error : Could not load file or assembly &#39;file:///C:\\foobar.dll&#39; or
&gt; one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from
&gt; HRESULT: 0x80131515)

Why/what is this not supported?

Could not load file or assembly Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

The easiest way to do this is to create a batch file with:

    NET stop &lt;service name&gt;
    NET start &lt;service name&gt;

Once the batch file is created and tested, add it to Windows Task Scheduler and run it at a specific time interval. Problem here is, when the bat file is missing or corrupt, the service won&#39;t restart. So, are there other ways to restart a service at a specific time interval?

I have a Windows server 2008 R2 server running a dozen .NET Framework 4.0 WebForms applications, and I need to disable TLS 1.0 and lower. When I do that, all secure connections fail and I was forced to re-enable TLS 1.0. Is there any way to use TLS 1.2 in a framework 4.0 environment? Perhaps I am missing something?

Also, due to limitations of the version CMS we are using, we cannot upgrade the Framework at this time.
