Is there a way to specify multiple schedules when setting up a task?

I’d like to do something such as this:

“trigger\_type” =\> TaskScheduler::ON\_IDLE & AT\_LOGON

Also, I just heard that a Ruby Win32 is underway. That’s going to be  
very nice. Looking forward to buying a copy!

You can add multiple triggers like this:

trigger1 = {  
“start\_year” =\> 1,  
“start\_month” =\> 1,  
“start\_day” =\> 1,  
“trigger\_type” =\> TaskScheduler::ON\_IDLE  
}  
trigger2 = {  
“start\_year” =\> 1,  
“start\_month” =\> 1,  
“start\_day” =\> 1,  
“trigger\_type” =\> TaskScheduler::AT\_LOGON  
}

ts = TaskScheduler.new  
ts.new\_work\_item(“foo”,nil)  
ts.application\_name = “notepad.exe”  
ts.trigger=trigger1  
ts.trigger=trigger2  
ts.save

A little weird, but it works for the current version.
