Scheduling an on-demand task

If you have created an on-demand task without assigning a schedule, or if you want to assign a different schedule to a task, you can use the vserver vscan on-demand-task schedule command to assign a schedule to the task.

1. Schedule an on-demand task: vserver vscan on-demand-task schedule -vserver data_SVM -task-name task_name -schedule cron_schedule

   Example

   The following command schedules an on-access task named Task2 on the vs2 SVM:

   cluster1::> vserver vscan on-demand-task schedule -vserver vs2 -task-name Task2 -schedule daily
   [Job 142]: Vscan On-Demand job is queued. Use the "job show -id 142" command to view the status. 
   
   Note

   You can use the job show command to view the status of the job. You can use the job pause and job resume commands to pause and restart the job, or the job stop command to end the job.
2. Verify that the on-demand task has been scheduled: vserver vscan on-demand-task show -instance data_SVM -task-name task_name

   For a complete list of options, see the man page for the command.

   Example

   The following command displays the details for the Task 2 task:

   cluster1::> vserver vscan on-demand-task show -instance vs2 -task-name Task2
   
                              Vserver: vs2
                            Task Name: Task2
