Running long scripts in ControlUp and its behavior

Posted on April 3, 2025

A user asked about the behavior of ControlUp when running long scripts.

It was also mentioned that this process will soon be automated and trigger only runs daily if needed. This was done to prevent running the scripts manually too aggressively.
