如何在.Net 5.0 C# 或 F# 中编写定期运行的代码

Question

I've written some Code in F# ( some in C# ) /.Net 5.0 and I am just running it as a console app currently and debugging it in visual studio.

I want it to

• Run by itself - every hour between 7 am and 6 pm Monday to Friday
• Be able to pause execution if need be.

What approach should I take with this? When I was writing nodejs apps I used to put the command line command in to the windows scheduler.

Should I

• Use the windows scheduler and do it as a command line
• Write a Windows Service that does it
• something else?

I'm not sure what approach to take & I might be missing an approach that fits this task perfectly.

If you are using Windows to run the exe you can use the built in Task Scheduler. Regarding pausing the application, you can add a watcher to the app which will check for status before it runs. Eg looks at a database or a centralised config file.
