Hi,

I just tried to create a .tjp file for a project that involves a
certain kind of testing phase. This testing phase requires that
someone will have to have a look at some running server (developed earlier)
from time to time, but only very little effort is needed to do this.
However, the period over which the server has to be monitored is
at least 4 weeks long.

Now I cannot find a way to tell TaskJuggler that a task will take
that long, but still needs only 4 hours working time in total.

I've tried "duration 4w effort 4h" together, but this is rejected.
I've tried "effort 4h" together with "allocate ... { load 0.025 }",
but this is also rejected as it is below the scheduling granularity.
Using fixed "start" and "end" dates is not an option as the testing
start depends on a lot of other things to be done before.

Is there any way to do this?

Almost every project I've been involved in included tasks like this...

Regards,

Lutz Vieweg
