Scheduling a task
You can schedule the device to automatically execute a command or a set of commands without
administrative interference.
You can configure a one-time schedule or a periodic schedule. A one-time schedule is not saved to the
configuration file and is lost when the device reboots. A periodic schedule is saved to the startup
configuration file and is automatically executed periodically.
Configuration guidelines
• Make sure all commands in a schedule are compliant to the command syntax. The system does not
check the syntax when you assign a command to a job.
• A schedule cannot contain any of these commands: telnet, ftp, ssh2, and monitor process.
• A schedule does not support user interaction. If a command requires a yes or no answer, the system
always assumes that a Y or Yes is entered. If a command requires a character string input, the
system assumes that the default character string (if any) is entered, or a null string is entered.
• A schedule is executed in the background, and no output (except for logs, traps, and debug
information) is displayed for the schedule.
