Syntax
IdleSettings.WaitTimeout As String
Property value
A value that indicates the amount of time that the Task Scheduler will wait for an idle condition to occur. The format for this string is PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, where nY is the number of years, nM is the number of months, nD is the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH is the number of hours, nM is the number of minutes, and nS is the number of seconds (for example, PT5M specifies 5 minutes and P1M4DT2H5M specifies one month, four days, two hours, and five minutes). The minimum time allowed is 1 minute. If this value is NULL, then the delay will be set to the default of 1 hour.
Remarks
When reading or writing XML for a task, this setting is specified in the WaitTimeout element of the Task Scheduler schema.
If a task is triggered by an idle trigger, then the IdleSettings.WaitTimeout property is ignored.
