Some scheduled tasks in WebManager can be configured when to run. These configuration settings are formatted according to the Unix Cron format.

Two different formats are being used; one for the Scheduling Services and one for the Search Engine. Determine which format you need and follow the examples in the appropriate section below.

Scheduling Services

The following format is used for the WebManager Scheduling Services.

.------------------- Seconds (0 - 59 [,-*/])
|  .---------------- Minutes (0 - 59 [,-*/])
|  |  .------------- Hours (0 - 23 [,-*/])
|  |  |  .---------- Day of month (1 - 31 [,-*?/LWC])
