Job Scheduler
The Job Scheduler feature enables the user to schedule commands or jobs on the switch for one time or multiple
times. This is similar in concept to the UNIX ‘cron’ utility. The user can schedule any CLI command that the user
would otherwise enter interactively. This includes commands to enable or disable ports, LEDs, and Power-Over-
Ethernet. Jobs can also be scheduled to be triggered by certain pre-defined events such as switch reboot. The
only major restriction on commands scheduled is that, it should not prompt/ask for any user inputs.
Commands
Job at | delay | enable | disable
Set schedule jobs using the options and set the count for the number of times the job is repeated.
Syntax
job JOB NAME at | delay | enable | disable
Description
Schedule a command to run automatically. Jobs can be scheduled to run once, multiple times on a recurring
basis, or after certain events such as reboots. All commands run with manager privilege in configuration context.
The [no] form of the command deletes a scheduled job.
By default, jobs will be repeated an infinite number of times.
Restrictions
Jobs scheduled at any event will not be counted.
Jobs that are scheduled at the event “reboot” will not work in some multi management switches.
Range
• <1-1000>: is the value range for the count option.
• ([[DD:]HH:]MM): is the format used for the specific delay.
Options
count
Specify the number of times the job should run.
delay
Specify the delay before running the job.
enable
Enable a job that is disabled or expired.
disable
Disable a job. By default, a job is enabled.
