Scheduling Tasks
• To create a scheduled task, issue the createsched <command> <task_schedule>
<schedule_name> command, where:

one of the commands listed in Table 12 (page 134).
◦ <task_schedule> is a crontab-style argument that specifies when the CLI command is
initiated. You can use the minute, hour, day-of-month, month, and day-of-week format or
use one of the special entries to schedule when the CLI command is initiated.
◦ <schedule_name> specifies the name of the schedule.
For a complete list of options available for the createsched command, see the HP 3PAR
