Using the Advanced Scheduler
3 minute read.
Choosing a Presets option automatically populates all fields.
To customize a schedule, enter crontab values for the Minutes/Hours/Days.
The simplest option is to enter a single number in the field. The task runs when the time value matches that number. Entering 10 runs the task when the time is ten minutes past the hour.
An asterisk (*) matches all values.
Set specific time ranges by entering hyphenated number values. Entering 30-35 in the Minutes field runs the task at minutes 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35.
You can list individual values separated by a comma (,). Entering 1,14 in the Hours field runs the task at 1:00 AM (0100) and 2:00 PM (1400).
A slash (/) designates a step value. Entering * in Days runs the task every day of the month, while */2 runs it every other day.
Combining all the above examples creates a schedule running a task each minute from 1:30-1:35 AM and 2:30-2:35 PM every other day.
There is an option to select which Months the task runs. Leaving each month unset is the same as selecting every month.
The Days of Week schedules the task to run on specific days plus any listed days. Entering 1 in Days and setting Wed for Days of Week creates a schedule that starts a task on the first day of the month and every Wednesday of the month.
The Schedule Preview displays when the current settings mean the task runs.
