On the 7705 SAR, the CRON feature supports periodic and date- and time-based scheduling. CRON is used, for example, to schedule Service Assurance Agent (SAA) functions. CRON functions include specifying scripts that need to be run and when they are to be scheduled. Reboots, peer turn-ups, and SAA tests are scheduled with CRON, as well as OAM events such as connectivity checks or troubleshooting runs.
CRON supports the schedule function. The schedule function is used to configure the type of schedule to run, including one-time-only (one-shot), periodic, or calendar-based runs. All runs are scheduled by month, day, hour, minute, and interval (seconds).
Scripts that have been configured under the config>system>script-control context are referenced by the CRON schedule. For information about scripts, see CLI Script Control.
