Run a rule manually only Tue Dec 30, 2025 11:11 am • by Bane
Hello,
Sorry I couldn't find a solution with search ☹️

I am backing up some network switch configs (no issue there) and the rule is kicked off with a "current time is" and I keep a few times listed, all perfectly good.

Sometimes though when I'm going to do some work on these devices I'd like to kick this off manually (Run rules -> select folder) but the rule doesn't start. I'm assuming because the time time condition isn't met.

I duplicated the same rule and set the launch condition to "current time is after 12am" and did not enable the rule, thinking perhaps it would force run that rule if I selected "Run rules", but that doesn't seem to work either.

My question is - how do I set a rule condition to be manually executed (or never start but be enabled) if possible so that only a manual request would start it? It would be super fast to have my scripts ready to launch with just a click this way.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Bane
