Preserve the last launch date of scheduled tasks even after reboot

[berturion]

My Gaseous server instance is installed on a machine that shuts down every night to save power when I'm not using it.

Scheduled tasks do not retain their last launch date.

As a result, every morning the server starts as if no task had ever been launched.

Would it be possible to persist the last launch date of each task in a database or file so that the task scheduler can take it into account even after a reboot?

Thanks for the report. It should be doing this already, but I’ll double check it.

Just adding some information for you to investigate.

I am on Gaseous 1.7.4.0

For exemple, today:

Thank you.

Oh! That's normal.

After a server start, the initial state of the background tasks is always "Never started".

If you stop and restart the server now, they'll all reset to that state.

The last run time is still in there (it's required to calculate the next run time), just hidden until the task state changes.

I'll look at modifying this behaviour to make it a bit more clear what's going on.
