Chapter 11. Setting Automated Jobs
The following example sets a job to run at noon on April 12:
0 12 12 4 *
The day-of-month and day-of-week options can contain a comma-separated list of values to specify
more than one day. If both day fields are specified, the specification is inclusive; that is, the day of
the month is not required to fall on the day of the week to be valid. For example, the following entry
specifies a job execution time of midnight on the first and fifteenth of every month and on every
Monday:
0 0 1,15 * 1
To specify one day type without the other, use an asterisk in the other day field. For example, the
following entry runs the job at 3:15 a.m. every weekday morning:
15 3 * * 1-5
11.4. Registering or Deleting a Job Module
Custom job plug-ins can be registered through the Certificate Manager Console. Registering a
new module involves specifying the name of the module and the full name of the Java™ class that
implements the module.
To register a new job module:
1. Log into the Certificate Manager Console.
pkiconsole https://server.example.com:9445/ca
2. In the Configuration tab, select Job Scheduler in the left navigation tree. Select Jobs.
The Job Instance tab opens, which lists any currently configured jobs. Select the Job Plugin
Registration tab.
3. Click Register to add the new module.
4. In the Register Job Scheduler Plugin Implementation window, supply the following information:
• Plugin name. Type a name for the plug-in module.
• Class name. Type the full name of the class for this module; this is the path to the implementing
Java™ class. If this class is part of a package, include the package name. For example, to
register a class named customJob that is in a package named com.customplugins, type
com.customplugins.customJob.
5. Click OK.
NOTE
It is also possible to delete job modules, but this is not recommended.
