Defining A Timetable - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring the Scheduler

Defining a Timetable

You can define a timetable in the scheduler to be used with one or more jobs.
If you do not specify the time for the time commands, the scheduler assumes the current time. For example,
if the current time is March 24, 2013, 22:00 hours, jobs are started as follows:
• For the time start 23:00 repeat 4:00:00 command, the scheduler assumes a start time of March 24,
• For the time daily 55 command, the scheduler assumes a start time every day at 22:55 hours.
• For the time weekly 23:00 command, the scheduler assumes a start time every Friday at 23:00 hours.
• For the time monthly 23:00 command, the scheduler assumes a start time on the 24th of every month
The scheduler will not begin the next occurrence of a job before the last one completes. For example, you
Note
have scheduled a job to be completed at one-minute intervals beginning at 22:00; but the job requires two
minutes to complete. The scheduler starts the first job at 22:00, completes it at 22:02, and then observes
a one-minute interval before starting the next job at 22:03.
