Answer 2

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, this can be done quite easily in two ways:

A) CruiseControl.NET , projectTriggers:

, . task3 task2. task2 , task3 . Trigger, task3 ccnet.config :

<triggers>
  <multiTrigger>
    <triggers>
      <intervalTrigger seconds="30" />
      <projectTrigger project="task2">
        <triggerStatus>Success</triggerStatus>
      </projectTrigger>
    </triggers>
  </multiTrigger>
</triggers>

B) Nant:

Answer 3

I suggest that you do this inside an NAnt or MSBuild task instead and pull it out of the CruiseControl.NET configuration.

What do your tasks do? Any reasons why you cannot move them inside an NAnt or MSBuild script?

Answer 4

I would recommend a script file (bat, PowerShell ), where you run tasks and check success.
