Description

Some PI will not have to be run every 5 min (e.g. inventory)
We should be able to define a frequency, and based on that, computed the expect reports accordingly

I assume this ressembles quite a bit our old idea for "Operation Jobs" that only run at given times. Maybe this is a step back to using them?

Anyway, the current workaround for this is simple: as CFEngine is the one that decides whether to execute the logic for a PI, it can also very simply send a result_success report when it is not the time to execute this PI, that just says something like "This PI is set to run every 24 hours, next run scheduled at 2 AM".

Closing that, because it seems to cover several topics already adressed:

- we do have the possibility to send "N/A" reports when nothing needs to be done for a directive for a given run,
- we can change agent run frequency,
- we do have a scheduled-task technique.

And the idea to have a grace period (ex: do that only every 6 hours) can be implemented on a technique by technique fashion for now.

Closing this one, please reopen we an other use case, linked to Rudder 4.3 or above, if needed.
