How to Run ASET Periodically

  1. Become superuser.

  2. If necessary, set up the time when you want ASET to run periodically.

    You should have ASET run when system demand is light. The PERIODIC_SCHEDULE environment variable in the /usr/aset/asetenv file is used to set up the time for ASET to run periodically. By default, the time is set for midnight every 24 hours.

    If you want to set up a different time, edit the PERIODIC_SCHEDULE variable in the /usr/aset/asetenv file. See "PERIODIC_SCHEDULE Variable" for detailed information about setting the PERIODIC_SCHEDULE variable.

  3. Add an entry to the crontab file using the aset command. 


    # /usr/aset/aset -p

    -p

    Inserts a line in the crontab file that starts ASET running at the time determined by the PERIODIC_SCHEDULE environment variable in the /usr/aset/asetenv file.

  4. Display the crontab entry to verify when ASET will run.


    # crontab -l root
