Crontab timer basics
A schedule fires according to a crontab string:
-
*any value -
,list:1,15= minute 1 and 15 -
-range:1-5= minutes 1-5 -
*/nstep:*/10= every tenth unit
Example: 0 */6 * * 1-5 triggers at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 Monday-Friday.
Adding tasks
Click Manage beside a schedule to create tasks:
-
Action: power state, console command, or backup
-
Delay: seconds to wait after the schedule fires
-
Payload: command text or power choice
Schedules can be toggled on or off and run manually at any time.
Backup warning
A Create Backup task shuts the server down first and does not auto-restart, so add a follow-up start task or restart it yourself.
