cron

Cron dependencies can be specified using the cron keyword.  Cron differs from time as when the node is complete it queues again immediately.  Cron also only works with a real time clock (not a hybrid clock).

Code Block
cron 23:00                  # every day at 23:00
cron 08:00 12:00 01:00      # every hour between 8 and 12
cron -w 0,2   11:00         # every sunday and tuesday at 11 am
cron -d 1,15   02:00        # every 1st and 15th of each month at 2 am
cron -m 1 -d 1  0314:00       # every first of January at 2 pm

A task can have several time and date dependencies. For example:

Code Block
day sunday
day wednesday
date 01.*.*                 # The first of every month and year
date 10.*.*                 # The tenth of every month and year
time 01:00
time 16:00
 
The task will run on sunday’s and wednesday’s at 1am and 4pm, but only if the day is the 1st or the 10th of the month.
Like trigger‘s, date and time dependencies can be set for a family. In this case, the tasks of this family will only run according to these dependencies.

 

Note

All time related dependencies(like cron, time, today, date and day) are relative to the clock of the suite.
