About Queue Job Functionality
The Queue Job feature automatically executes specific queued tasks whenever the Agent service is restarted. If jobs are in the queue list and the Agent is in a stopped state at the scheduled execution time, this feature helps ensure that critical operations are not missed during Agent downtime.
When Does the Queue Job Run?
- The Queue Job is triggered only when the agent service is restarted.
- It does not run during regular offline/online events, such as network reconnects.
- If the agent temporarily goes offline and then comes back online without a full service restart, the Queue Job will not execute.
