configure the system to automatically execute a batch file at the specified time (note that you must
provide a complete file path for the system to execute the batch file.).
The system does not check the values of the view and command arguments. Therefore, ensure the
correctness of the command argument (including the correct format of command and the correct
relationship between the command and view arguments).
After the specified automatic execution time is reached, the system executes the specified
command in the background without displaying any information except system information such as
log, trap and debug.
The system does not require any interactive information when it is executing the specified
command. If there is information for you to confirm, the system automatically inputs Y or Yes; if
characters need to be input, the system automatically inputs a default character string, or inputs an
empty character string when there is no default character string.
For the commands used to switch user interfaces, such as telnet, ftp, and ssh2, the commands
used to switch views, such as system-view, quit, and the commands used to modify status of a
user that is executing commands, such as super, the operation interface, command view and
status of the current user are not changed after the automatic execution function is performed.
If the system time is modified after the automatic execution function is configured, the scheduled
automatic execution configuration turns invalid automatically.
Only the last configuration takes effect if you execute the schedule job command repeatedly.
After you configure this feature on the active SRPU, the configuration is not backed up to the
standby SRPU; after a switchover between the active SRPU and the standby SRPU, this
configuration will be ineffective.

Device Software Overview

Device software consists of the Boot ROM program and the system boot file. After the device is
powered on, the device runs the Boot ROM program, initializes the hardware, and displays the
hardware information. Then the device runs the boot file. The boot file provides drivers and adaption for
hardware, and implements service features. The Boot ROM program and system boot file are required
for the startup and running of a device. Figure 1-1 illustrates their relationship.
