Configuring the Command Scheduler

Configuring the Command Scheduler

Use the cmd-schedcommand to configure the scheduled execution of any CLI commands, including playing scripts. The commands that will be executed are referred to as the command string. To schedule commands, you must create a configuration record, which includes a provision as to when to execute the commands, and the command string.

For example, you can use this command to schedule periodic content replication, the gathering of statistics, and scheduled configuration changes. At the specified time, the command scheduler executes a command string by creating a pseudo-login shell where each string is executed. A cmd-sched record is only scheduled for execution upon completion of its shell. Use the show lines command to display information about active pseudo shells (refer to “Showing Current Logins” in Chapter 1, Logging in and Getting Started).

Note To terminate the execution of a command string, use the disconnect command.

The syntax and options for this global configuration mode command are:

•cmd-sched- Enable command scheduling.

•cmd-sched record name minute hour day month weekday “ commands...”

{logfile_name} - Create a configuration record for the scheduled execution of any CLI commands, including the playing of scripts.

The variables are listed below. When entering minute, hour, day, month, and weekday variables, you may enter a single integer, a wildcard (*), a list separated by commas, or a range separated by a dash (-).

•name - The name of the configuration record. Enter an unquoted text string up to 16 characters.

•minutes - The minute of the hour to execute this command. Valid numbers are from 0 to 59.

•hour - The hour of the day. Valid numbers are from 0 to 23.

•day - The day of the month. Valid numbers are from 0 to 31.
