Apply
button. The schedule will be validated, and the script manager will
either immediately start running the script or schedule the next run of the script. The main
Scripts
page is displayed, showing the schedule status of the script (this may take a few seconds to be
updated while the script manager processes the script - click
Refresh
to view the latest

Notes on scheduling:
Scripts that are scheduled to start immediately and run forever will be restarted when the SLC
is rebooted.
Device Type

State
The state of the script’s schedule. A script must be

scheduler to begin running the schedule. Once a script has been scheduled and
enabled, it can be
Disabled
; in this state the script manager will continue to update
the scheduled run time for a script, but the script will not be run or produce any
results. At any point a schedule for a script can be
Deleted
.
