I do a entry points for arcgis-pro-schedules like above.

In my case i call it python command prompt on windows but I suppose its doable in other architectures with minimal changes.

[HildermesJoséMedeirosFilho]

Dear, all.
I would like to warn, entry point is a script programmed to be called in a specif python env.

Like so, as Esri you could implemment one in arcpy package or arcgis package.

is similar to the proswap command

In short, my sugesstion is to make a entry_point command to pro environment, so we can run our arcgispro schedules.

If I can do it in my private packages, why can't you?

Those poit above are the one that motivated me to post the suggestion at python ideas.

I sincerely belive it should be there, thank you.

[HildermesJoséMedeirosFilho]

This is a basic example. I did a "curses-windows" to manager schedules.
I just need to open the python-command-prompt and type protop...
We could have some more meaningful entry points, right? I mean, some one did proswap, why not protop? proskd....as developer I think is not pratical to open arcgis to stop schedules, run scheds, etc.
