Task scheduler

Task scheduler — allows scheduled task execution. Note that scripts excecuted this way are executed as root user - this may be dangerous.

Together with Command scripting this can be used for automating configuration.

system
    task-scheduler
        task <name>
            cron-spec <UNIX cron time spec>
            executable
                arguments <arguments string>
                path <path to executable>
            interval
                <int32>[mhd]

Interval

You are able to set the time as an time interval.

set system task-scheduler task <name> interval <value><suffix>

Sets the task to execute every N minutes, hours, or days. Suffixes:

• m — minutes

• h — hours

• d — days

If suffix is omitted, minutes are implied.

Or set the execution time in common cron time.

set system task-scheduler task TEST crontab-spec "* * * 1 *"

Example

system
    task-scheduler
        task mytask
            interval 2h
            executable
                path /config/scripts/mytask
                arguments "arg1 arg2 arg3"
        task anothertask
            cron-spec "* * * 1 *"
            executable
                path /config/scripts/anothertask
