Create a task that execute's once an hour, checks for the existance of the install tool enable file, and deletes it if it's older than an hour.

There was a request from Lars Houmark to do this. I discussed with him and he was still interested in having this task, although he agreed that it was not as important now that there was this new mechanism for deleting the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file. So I dropped this request. However if you want to go ahead with it, fine with me.
Should the task already be enabled when installing the scheduler? That would mean providing the extension with already a record in the database, like static tables. I don't really like this personnally. I think it's too "forceful".
About the deletion of the file: it should not be deleted if it's older than an hour, but when it's older than the task's periodicity. IMO.

Will do, but as you said already, it's very low priority.

Seems the same to me too.

If we do it, it should behave the same as the removal by the install tool itself IMO.

I thought this would give more flexibility to the admin. Of course, if the base mechanism is still active, it is pretty pointless to delete the file at another frequency than an hour. Otherwise it could be convienent I think.

i guess this can be closed, ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL is automatically deleted if it is older than 1 hour

- Status changed from New to Closed
Indeed can be closed. There are several tasks packed with the Core since 4.5, including one in the Scheduler itself (caching framework garbage collection). There will be even more tasks with 4.6.
