Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: Scheduling CLI Commands

Examples

Scheduling CLI Commands

Cisco Unified SRST Manager enables you to schedule the execution of a block of CLI commands. Blocks of commands are entered interactively, using a symbol delimiter character to start and stop the execution. The execution of the block of commands begins in EXEC mode, but mode-changing commands are allowed in the command block.

The following limitations apply in Cisco Unified SRST Manager Release 11.0:

The maximum size of the block of commands is 1024 characters, including new lines.
Commands in the block cannot use the comma “,” character or the delimiter character. For example, if the delimiter character is configured to be “#”, that character cannot be used in the command blocks.
Only system administrators can schedule the execution of blocks of commands.
CLI commands are executed under system super-user privileges.
Notification for the execution of these command blocks is not available. Error messages and results are available in log files only.

Caution

Use caution when scheduling CLI commands. Interactive commands will cause the execution to hang. Some commands might cause system instability.

1. kron schedule [ name ]

2. description

3. repeat every { number days at time |number weeks on day | number months on day date | number years on month month } at time

repeat monthly on day date at time
repeat weekly on day at time
repeat yearly on month month at time

4. start-date date

5. stop-date date

6. commands delimiter

7. exit

8. show kron schedules
