Periodic mode—A job is executed at the user-specified periodic intervals, until it is deleted by the
administrator. The following types of periodic intervals are supported:
Daily—The job is executed once a day
–
Weekly—The job is executed once a week
–
Monthly—The job is executed once a month
–
Delta—The job is executed beginning at the specified start time and thereafter at user-specified
–
intervals (days:hours:minutes).
One-time mode—The job is executed once at a user-specified time.
A user who is authenticated and authorized by a remote service (for example, RADIUS) cannot
schedule jobs.
Be aware that the scheduled job can fail if it encounters one of the following situations when
executing the job:
If the license has expired for a feature at the time when a job containing commands pertaining
–
to that feature is scheduled.
If a feature is disabled at the time when a job containing commands pertaining to that feature is
–
scheduled.
If you have removed a module from a slot and the job has commands pertaining to the interfaces
–
for that module or slot.
Verify that you have configured the time. The scheduler does not have any default time configured.
If you create a schedule and assign job(s) and do not configure the time, that schedule is not
launched.
While defining a job, verify that no interactive or disruptive commands (for example, copy
bootflash: file ftp: URI, write erase, and other similar commands) are specified as part of a job
since the job is executed noninteractively at the scheduled time.
