Scheduling a job
The default is to configure a job to run on demand (--ondemand). If a job is to be run only
once, but at a specific time, or on a regular basis, specify the --later or --regularly options
respectively. You will then be required to add the –e schedule option, where schedule is a
cron-style entry in the following format:
Minute Hour DayOfMonth Month DayOfWeek
Each of the above fields are required and must be separated by a single space. You may
specify any number of options for each field, each separated by commas. For example:
0 17 * * 1,2,3,4,5
indicates that at 5:00 PM (minute 0 of hour 17) on every day of the month (*) of every month of
the year (*), the backup should run, but only on Monday through Friday (1,2,3,4,5).
Changing a job
If a job currently exists, you can change specific options by specifying only that option and its
new argument. For example, to turn on auto-verify for job “myjob1”, use the following
command:
stjob –aVy myjob1
or
stjob –a –verify myjob1
When changing a job, you may enter “none” to remove any previous values that do not require
an entry (i.e. “-D none”)
