The schedule parameterized string format
When creating a new task on the command line with -c, the task type/schedule information is
required as a parameterized data string, and is preceded by the -w option character.
The schedule parameterized string has the general format shown below, and must begin with the
T (type) character. The parameterized string must not contain spaces, and the period character is
used as a parameter separator.
-w T<tasktype>.I<intervaltype>.P<periodic>.D<day|date>.M<time>
The T parameter signifies the task type and is required in all type/schedule parameterized strings.
Valid [tasktype] values are add, remove, manual or schedule. These task type values determine
what type source triggers the task to run.
• Tadd. Task runs when systems or events meet the list criteria.
• Tremove. Task runs when systems or events no longer meet the list criteria.
• Tmanual. Task runs when manually invoked.
• Tschedule. Task runs according to a periodic/day/time schedule.
The I parameter signifies the interval type and is required when the T task type value is schedule.
Valid intervaltype values are minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, daily, or runonce.
• Tschedule.Iminutes. Task runs every x minutes.
• Tschedule.Ihours. Task runs every x hours.
• Tschedule.Iweeks. Task runs every x weeks at specified day/time.
