Scheduling A Task; Configuration Guidelines; Configuration Procedure - HPE FlexFabric 5940 Series Configuration Manual

To schedule a reboot, execute either of the following commands in user view:
Task
Specify the reboot date and
time.
Specify the reboot delay time.

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 periodic schedule or a non-periodic schedule. A non-periodic 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

Follow these guidelines when you schedule a task:
•
The default system time is always restored at reboot. To make sure a task schedule can be
executed as expected, reconfigure the system time or configure NTP after you reboot the
device. For more information about NTP, see Network Management and Monitoring
Configuration Guide.
•
To assign a command (command A) to a job, you must first assign the job the command or
commands for entering the view of command A.
•
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 one 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 either the default character string (if any) 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.
