#217: Improve handling of nonexistent schedule groups --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: CST --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
The original motivation for allowing this (and not outputting any warnings -- these warnings are fairly recent) was to allow a thorn A to schedule a routine in a group defined by another thorn B, while allowing thorn A to work fine even if thorn B is not active.
For example, there could be a web server thorn that provides a group for creating additional pages, and an analysis thorn could then create a page by scheduling in this group. The analysis thorn would work fine even if the web server is not active.
