Scheduler CLI Commands (DEPRECATED) 63
• --monthday: Recur monthly on a specific weekday within the month
starting at the time obtained from the --start specification. If last is
specified, then the event will occur on the last day of each month.
ex: 2mon : recur on the second Monday within the month.
• --yearly: Recur yearly on the month, day, and time obtained from the --start
specification.
• --yearday: Recur on a specific weekday within the month and starting at the
time, both obtained from the --start specification.
ex: 2mon : recur on the second Monday within the month.
• --interval: This specifies how often the recurrence is repeated. Recur every
<interval> amount.
If --interval is not specified, the default is 1.
ex: if daily recurrence, interval=5 : recurs every 5 days.
if monthly recurrence, interval=5 : recurs every 5 months.
if yearly recurrence, interval=5 : recurs every 5 years.
• --until: Date in the format yyyy/mm/dd, or yyyy-mm-dd. This specifies when
to end recurrence. Recur until date. If neither --until or --count is specified,
recurrence will continue forever.
• --count: This specifies when to end recurrence. Recur until <count>
recurrences.
ex: if daily recurrence, count=5 : recur for 5 days.
if monthly recurrence, count=5 : recur for 5 months.
if yearly recurrence, count=5 : recur for 5 years.
• --all: Used to specify that changes are to occur to all instances of an event.
Note that this will be ignored on a non-recurring event.
Listing Events DEPRECATED: This CLI allows the admin users to list the events for a specified
time period. It displays an ID for each listed event. The ID can then be used to
change or delete an event or event instance.
For additional search capabilities, supply the search criteria for which you have
an interest. For the search to be as accurate and flexible as possible, there is
minimal validation of the input criteria. Events returned will match all criteria
supplied.
Note: When multiple search criteria is used, the AND operator is used to
satisfy the query.
syscli --list events [--instances | --series] [--type
[all]|throttle|healthcheck|reclamation|emailreports|vtlrep|nasrep] [--start
<datetime>] [--end <datetime>] [--desc <event name>] [--bw

[--reptarget <host_name_or_ip>] [--recurrence <recurstr>]
CLI command options:
• --list: Displays all event instances for a particular time period and for a
specified event type.
