Is it possible to know in a mapreduce if it is running because it was scheduled?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations provided, it does not appear that there is a direct way to determine if a Map/Reduce script is running because it was scheduled within the script itself. However, there are ways to check if a Map/Reduce script is currently running. You can use the

N/task

API, specifically

task.MapReduceScriptTaskStatus

, to check the status of a Map/Reduce script. This can help you determine if the script is currently running, but it does not provide information on whether the script was triggered manually or scheduled. Another approach is to use a try/catch block around the

task.submit()

function. If the script is already running, it will raise an error which you can then handle accordingly. Lastly, you can run saved searches on running Map Reduce instances using

search.Type.SCHEDULED_SCRIPT_INSTANCE

. This will return all instances of running Map Reduce scripts, but again, it does not specify whether the script was triggered manually or scheduled. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
