Schedule for Executing Jobs
The Job Scheduler uses a variation of the Unix
crontab
entry format to specify
dates and times for checking the job queue and executing jobs. As shown in Table
2-5, the time entry format consists of five fields (the sixth field specified for the
Unix
crontab
is not used by the Job Scheduler). Values are separated by spaces or
tabs.
Each field can contain either a single integer or a pair of integers separated by a
hyphen or dash (
-
) to indicate an inclusive range. To specify all legal values, a field
can contain an asterisk rather than an integer. Day fields can contain a
comma-separated list of values.
For example, the following time entry specifies every hour at 15 minutes (1:15, 2:15,
3:15 and so on):
15 * * * *
The following example specifies a job execution time of noon on April 12:
0 12 12 4 *
summary.
recipientEmail
Specifies the recipients of the summary message. These can be, for example,
agents who need to know the status of user certificates.
Permissible values: Complete email addresses, separated by commas.
Example:
cert_agent1@example.com,cert_agent2@example.com
