|
#### Update the status of a task
|
|
In the list of tasks, click the toggle in the **Active** column of the task you
|
|
would like to activate or inactivate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Update a task with the influx CLI
|
|
Use the `influx task update` command to update or change the status of an existing task.
|
|
|
|
_This command requires a task ID, which is available in the output of `influx task find`._
|
|
|
|
#### Update a task's Flux script
|
|
Pass the file path of your updated Flux script to the `influx task update` command
|
|
with the ID of the task you would like to update.
|
|
Modified [task options](/v2.0/process-data/task-options) defined in the Flux
|
|
script are also updated.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Pattern
|
|
influx task update -i <task-id> @/path/to/updated-task-script
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx task update -i 0343698431c35000 @/tasks/cq-mean-1h.flux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Update the status of a task
|
|
Pass the ID of the task you would like to update to the `influx task update`
|
|
command with the `--status` flag.
|
|
|
|
_Possible arguments of the `--status` flag are `active` or `inactive`._
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Pattern
|
|
influx task update -i <task-id> --status < active | inactive >
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
influx task update -i 0343698431c35000 --status inactive
|
|
```
