If you need to run a certain task at given regular intervals automatically, you may use our cron service available on the hosts hpc-cron for HPC users and ecs-cron for those with no access to the HPCF.
Use hpc-cron or ecs-cron
Do not run your crontabs on any host other than "hpc-cron" or "ecs-cron", as they may disappear at any point after a reboot or maintenance session. The only guaranteed nodes are hpc-cron and ecs-cron.
See HPC2020: Cron service for more information.
