MaxRunTime

MyDefrag

Settings - MaxRunTime

Run until a maximum DATETIME. When the time expires MyDefrag will stop processing and jump to the next MaxRunTime, or to the end of the block in which the MaxRunTime occurs, whichever comes first.

If MaxRunTime() is placed inside a FileActions-FileEnd then it will jump to the next MaxRunTime() or to the FileEnd, whichever comes first. For example:

  FileSelect
    ....
  FileActions
    ....
    MaxRunTime(1 hour)       /* From here until next MaxRunTime(). */
    ....
    MaxRunTime(1 hour)       /* From here until FileEnd. */
    ....
  FileEnd

If MaxRunTime() is placed inside a VolumeActions-VolumeEnd then it will jump to the next MaxRunTime() at the same level (ignoring MaxRunTime() inside FileActions-FileEnd), or to the VolumeEnd, whichever comes first. For example:

  VolumeSelect
    ....
  VolumeActions
    ....
    MaxRunTime(1 hour)       /* From here until next MaxRunTime(). */
    ....
    FileSelect
      ....
    FileActions
      ....                /* MaxRunTime's in here are independent. */
    FileEnd
    ....
    MaxRunTime(1 hour)       /* From here until VolumeEnd. */
    ....
  VolumeEnd

If MaxRunTime() is placed outside a VolumeActions-VolumeEnd then it will jump to the next outside MaxRunTime(), and if there is none then to the end of the script. For example:

  MaxRunTime(1 hour)         /* From here until end of the script. */
  ...
  VolumeSelect
    ....
  VolumeActions
    ....                  /* MaxRunTime's in here are independent. */
  VolumeEnd
  ...
