Allowing users to pause, snooze, or stop a scheduled scan
You can allow users to temporarily pause or snooze a scheduled scan, as well as
stop the scan entirely. The results are as follows:
Paused scan: When a user pauses a scan, the Scan Results dialog box
■
remains open, waiting for the user to either continue or abort the scan. If
the computer is shut off, the paused scan will not continue.
Snoozed scan: When a user snoozes a scheduled scan, the user has the
■
option of snoozing the scan for one hour, or (depending on the
configuration) for three hours. In addition, the number of snoozes is
configurable. When a scan is snoozing, the Scan Results dialog box closes,
and reappears when the snooze period ends and the scan resumes.
Allow users to pause, snooze, or stop a scan
A paused scan automatically restarts after a specified time interval elapses. A
stopped scan will not restart.
