/c x add rebuild= ddd:hh:duration
This command adds a new background rebuild task to be executed on the day
ddd (where ddd is Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, and Sat), at the hour hh
(range 0 .. 23), for a duration of duration (range 1 .. 24) hours. A maximum of
seven rebuild tasks can be scheduled. This command will fail if no (empty)
task slot is available.
Example:
//localhost> /c1 add rebuild=Sun:16:3
adds a rebuild background task schedule to be executed on Sundays at 16
hours (4:00 PM) for a duration of 3 hours.
Setting Up a Rebuild Schedule
Setting up a rebuild schedule requires several steps, and several different CLI
commands in addition to /cx add rebuild.
To set up the rebuild schedule you want to use, follow this
process:
1 Use the /cx show rebuild command to display the current schedule for
rebuild tasks. (For details, see page 41.)
2 If any of the scheduled tasks do not match your desired schedule, use the
/cx del rebuild command to remove them. (For details, see page 47.)
3Use the /cx add rebuild command to create the rebuild schedule slots you
want (described above.)
4 Use the /cx set rebuild=enable command to enable the schedule (this
enables all rebuild schedule slots). (For details, see page 48.)
Warning: If all time slots are removed, be sure to also disable the schedule.
Otherwise the applicable background task will never occur.
