n set_time: Runs the script at a specified time of the day.
l If set_time is set, set the time that the script should run, using the format
HH:MM:
(config system schedule script 0)> run_time HH:MM
(config system schedule script 0)>
n maintenance_time: The script will run during the system maintenance time
window.
d. Set the commands that will execute the script:
(config system schedule script 0)> commands filename
(config system schedule script 0)>
where filename is the path and filename of the script, and any related command line
information.
If the script begins with #!, then the script will be invoked in the location specified by the
path for the script command. Otherwise, the default shell will be used (equivalent to
#!/bin/sh).
e. Script logging options:
n To log the script's output to the system log:
(config system schedule script 0)> syslog_stdout true
(config system schedule script 0)>
n To log script errors to the system log:
(config system schedule script 0)> syslog_stderr true
(config system schedule script 0)>
If syslog_stdout and syslog_stderr are not enabled, only the script's exit code is written
to the system log.
f. Set the maximum amount of memory available to be used by the script and its
subprocesses:
(config system schedule script 0)> max_memory value
(config system schedule script 0)>
where value uses the syntax number{b|bytes|KB|k|MB|MB|M|GB|G|TB|T}.
g. To run the script only once at the specified time:
(config system schedule script 0)> once true
(config system schedule script 0)>
If once is enabled, rebooting the device will cause the script to run again. The only way to
re-run the script is to:
n Remove the script from the device and add it again.
n Make a change to the script.
n Disable once.
