Global option to run profiles serially

[Zodler]

There should be an option to run profiles serially as default behavior. Making groups is not the solution.

Imagine having profile A that should run everyday and profile B that should run every 5 days. They go to the same destination and it takes a long time if they run together. You have to run them serially. You can't achieve that with putting them in a group. As soon as you put them in a group, you can't make one run everyday and the other one every 5 days.

There should be a global option to run profiles serially.

You are asking to be able to run profiles serially but not in a Group. I do not see how that would be any difference that what is currently available to run profiles serially in a Group.

I have profiles running serially in a Group and in a profile in the group using Programs/Before check the "Programs return value" to determine the profile will or will not run when the group runs. I set the return value in the .bat file with
a "If" command ...
(
EXIT /B 0 "Run the profile"
) ELSE (
EXIT /B 1 "Do not run the profile"
)

I don't understand and it seems complicated.

I have
profile A every day
profile B every 5 days

These 2 profiles shouldn't run parallel. How can I do it?

The simplest option may just be for you to run the profile B manually every 5 days after profile A has finished.

If your profiles are being run periodically then you have the option to queue the profile/group instead of running immediately, then the profile/group will not run until the currently running queued profile/group has completed.

Thank you very much. That would solve the problem. I have version 8 and I don't see that option. It was introduced after 8? I have to upgrade.
