Context config>cron>sched
Description This command specifies which days of the week that the schedule will fire on. Multiple days of the week can
be specified. When multiple days are configured, each of them will cause the schedule to occur. If a
weekday is configured without configuring month, day-of-month, hour and minute, the event will not
execute.
Using the weekday command as well as the day-of month command will cause the script to run twice. For
example, consider that “today” is Monday January 1. If “Tuesday January 5” is configured, the script will
run on Tuesday (tomorrow) as well as January 5 (Friday).
The no form of this command removes the specified weekday from the configuration.
Parameters day-number — Specifies a weekday number.
Values 1 —7 (maximum 7 week-day-numbers)
day-name — Specifies a day by name
Values sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday (maximum 7 weekday
names)
