Scheduling Date and Time Options

Tip: Make sure you are familiar with the information in Time/NTP before setting the schedule.

Choose Every Day, Days of Week, or Days of Month from the upper pull-down menu.

Note: When specifying multiple days, separate them with a comma. When specifying the time, use 24-hour format.

If Every Day, select one of the following options from the lower menu, and enter the necessary values:

Hour of day: (0‑23) Enter the time you want the task to run (in 24 hour format) in the Hours field. Midnight is zero (0).
Every: Select Hours or Minutes from the right-most menu and specify how frequently you want the task to run.
Hours: (1-23) Enter how frequently in hours you want the task to run. The result is every n hours every day.
Minutes: (15-59) Enter how frequently in minutes you want the task to run. The result is every n minutes every day.

If Days of Week, select from the following options from the lower menu, and enter the necessary values:

Days: (1-7) Enter the days of the week you want the task to run (Sunday=1, Monday=2, and so on).
Hour of Day: (0‑23) Enter the time you want the task to run in the text field to the right. 0 is midnight.
Every: Select Hours or Minutes from the right-most menu and specify how frequently you want the task to run.

Hours: (1-23) Enter how frequently in hours you want the task to run. The result is every n hours on the selected days.

Note: The number of days in a month varies. Scheduled tasks will only run if the specified day exists for that month. Tasks scheduled on the 31st day of the month will not run in April, February, June, November, and September. Tasks scheduled on the 29th day of the month will only run in February during leap years.
Hour of Day: (0-23) Enter the time of day you want the task to run. (You cannot select Every for this option.)

To run the scheduled job every four hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, select Days of Week from the upper Schedule menu and enter 3,5 as the Days. Then choose Every from the lower menu, enter 4 in the text box.
