CRON
The CRON command supports the Service Assurance Agent (SAA) functions as well as the ability
to schedule turning on and off policies to meet “Time of Day” requirements. CRON functionality
includes the ability to specify the commands that need to be run, when they will be scheduled,
including one-time only functionality (oneshot), interval and calendar functions, as well as where
to store the output of the results. In addition, CRON can specify the relationship between input,
output and schedule. Scheduled reboots, peer turn ups, service assurance agent tests and more can
all be scheduled with Cron, as well as OAM events, such as connectivity checks, or
troubleshooting runs.
CRON elements include:
• Action
• Schedule
• Script
• Time Range
• Time of Day
Action
Parameters for a script including the maximum amount of time to keep the results from a script
run, the maximum amount of time a script may run, the maximum number of script runs to store
and the location to store the results.
