RE: Schedules don't trigger handlers after power lossposted in Mango feedback
I think the problem is that neither the re-activate nor the active-only-at-the-right-time behaviors are correct for all users in all cases. I guess they could consider providing the event raise / return behavior as an option on the schedule.
You can imagine there are other sorts of toggles that make no sense to happen outside of the exact time. For instance, if the scheduler was making a bell chime for the time of day, surely power loss leading to erroneous chiming is not desirable. Or, if it takes a snapshot of data, it may be more desirable to have a hole to manually fill than to have malformed data appearing to look good.
It's a tough problem to solve for all cases. You can always use a scripting data source to achieve arbitrary scheduling controls and handling of a power loss situation, but it'd take some programming and noodling.
