Question

How do I go about creating a job in order to launch a shell program every hour?

Answer

  • A job element has to be created as a separate file in the hot folder live of the JobScheduler with the below content.
  • The job my_shell_script will be started every hour (see <run_time repeat= ...>) and will execute the script my_shell_script.sh.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<job>
    <params/>
   	<script language="shell">
       	<![CDATA[
my_shell_script.sh
       	]]>
   	</script>
    <run_time repeat = "3600"
               begin = "00:00"
                 end = "24:00"/>
</job>
