The value of PERIODIC_SCHEDULE follows the same format as the crontab file. Specify the variable value as a string of five fields enclosed in double quotation marks, each field separated by a space:
"minutes hours day-of-month month day-of-week" |
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
minutes hours |
Specifies start time in number of minutes (0-59) after the hour and the hour (0-23) |
day-of-month |
Specifies the day of the month when ASET should be run, using values from 1 through 31 |
month |
Specifies the month of the year when ASET should be run, using values from 1 through 12 |
day-of-week |
Specifies the day of the week when ASET should be run, using values from 0 through 6; Sunday is day 0 in this scheme |
The following rules apply:
You can specify a list of values, each delimited by a comma, for any field.
You can specify a value as a number, or you can specify it as a range; that is, a pair of numbers joined by a hyphen. A range states that the ASET tasks should be executed for every time included in the range.
You can specify an asterisk (*) as the value of any field. An asterisk specifies all possible values of the field, inclusive.
The default entry for PERIODIC_SCHEDULE variable causes ASET to execute at 12:00 midnight every day:
PERIODIC_SCHEDULE="0 0 * * *" |
