Task Internal - Job/Task Control
The Job/Task control can change/control status of a Job or Task. With this Task you are also able to start a Job or Task on a remote VisualCron Server.
The VisualCron Task uses the VisualCron Connection when you want to control a remote server.

Run synchronous (wait for completion)
Waits for Job or Task completion before continuing to next Task.
Inherit exit code from child Job/Task
By default the result from the Job/Task is inherited (sent back) to this Task. So, if the Task or Job you are trying to run fail with another exit code than zero then that exit code will be inherited by this Task - and also fail.
Inherit output from child Task
By default, output from the Task you want to run will not be send back to this Task. But if you want it to be sent back you can check this box.
VisualCron Server location
Local VisualCron Server / Remote VisualCron Server

Job Variables
Job Variables are covered here. In this Task you can pass values at execution. If the keys are the same as the existing in the Job they existing Job Variables will be overwritten. One difference in the Job Variables window is that you have the option to refresh/load existing Job Variables. Click on the Get current Variables button and they will be refreshed (any existing Variables with same keys in the Task will be overwritten).
Translate Variables before sending
Checking this produces the same behavior as when you check similar on Set Variable Task - the Variable becomes a constant.
Update Job Variables
When enabled, the target Job Variables will be updated with the Variables supplied here.
Trigger

When checked, targets all triggers. When unchecked, select specific triggers from the dropdown.
Reload

The execution timeout of this Task is determined first by settings in the Timeout tab. If no settings are used, the timeout on the Connection (in this case VisualCron Connection) is used.
