[FEATURE] Supertask sequential execution of tasks

Open rixvet opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

When running a supertask it would be nice to have sequential execution, which can save computing time. For example a supertask consist of for tasks (with priorities). 1) (40) 2) wordlist + rules (30) 3) brute-force. (20) 4) brute-force (20)

I would like to be able to execute them in order to ensure the most likely candidates are tried (and exhausted) before the heavy lifting takes place. This could for example be done by a flag within the supertask telling the scheduler to hold-off tasks if execution of higher priorities tasks are not yet finished.

Currently it is possible to set the priority in the SuperTask of the pretast which are part of it. Agents will then first work on the pretask with the highest priority. But lets say that one of those pretask have a high prio and isfor example a small task; a new agent comes along and starts working on the SuperTask; it will start on the next pretask in line.

What you are asking for is to prevent this and make sure the first task is completed before any other task is started?
