Automation of Tasks

Automation of Tasks

Automation of tasks is a good concept. Consider the example below in which you create a task and schedule it at your convenience to execute the needed actions. There are other types of scheduling as well. Explore them to know more.

import java.util.Timer;import java.util.TimerTask;public class TaskScheduling{   public static void main(String args[])   {      TaskScheduling taskScheduling = new TaskScheduling();      taskScheduling.proceed();   }      private void proceed()   {      Timer taskTimer = new Timer();      TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask()      {         public void run()          {            //Our task action            System.out.println("In run() method");         }      };            //The below setting will ensure that the taskTimer is executed after 5 seconds      taskTimer.schedule(timerTask,5000);   }}/*

Expected output:

[root@mypc]# java TaskSchedulingIn run() method*/
