Scheduled Script

A scheduled script is a script that runs based on predefined schedules or time events. To set up a scheduled script, follow these steps:

1. Click the Scheduled button in the Scripting tab.

2. Click the Add new script button.

3. Configure the parameters in the Scheduled script dialog as follows:

   • Script name: Specify a descriptive name for the script.

   • Minute/Hour/Day of the month: Scheduled scripting uses standard cron format for date/time parameters.

     *	Execute script every minute, hour, or day.
     */N	Execute script every N minutes/hours/days. N is an integer. A script is executed when current value divided by N gives 0 in modulo. For example, a script with hour parameter set to */8 will be executed when the hour value is 0, 8, and 16.
     N	Execute script when minute/hour/day matches N.
     N-K	Execute script when minute/hour/day is between N-K range (inclusive).
     N,K	You can specify multiple N and N-K type parameters separated by commas. For example, a script with the minute parameter set to 15,50–52 will execute when the minute value is 15, 50, 51, and 52.

   • Month of the year/Day of the week: Select from the dropdown menu.

   • Active: Choose whether the script is active (green circle) or disabled (red circle).

   • Category: Assign a new or existing category name to group similar scripts (this won’t affect the script’s action but helps with organization).

   • Description: Provide a brief description of the script.
