Scheduling a device reboot
The device supports only one device reboot schedule. If you configure the
schedule reboot delay
command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. The
schedule reboot at
command
and the
schedule reboot delay
command overwrite each other, and whichever is configured last takes
effect.
For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.
To schedule a device reboot, execute one of the following commands in user view:
Task Command
Remarks
Schedule a reboot.
•
Schedule a reboot to occur at
a specific time and date:
schedule reboot at
hh:mm
[
date
]
•
Schedule a reboot to occur
after a delay:
schedule reboot delay
{
hh:mm
|
mm
}
Use either command.
The scheduled reboot function is
disabled by default.
Changing any clock setting can
cancel the reboot schedule.
Scheduling jobs
You can schedule a job to automatically run a command or a set of commands without administrative
interference. The commands in a job are polled every minute. When the scheduled time for a command
is reached, the job automatically executes the command. If a confirmation is required while the
command is running, the system automatically enters
Y
or
Yes
. If characters are required, the system
automatically enters a default character string or an empty character string when no default character
string is available.
Job configuration approaches
You can configure jobs in a non-modular or modular approach. Use the non-modular approach for a
one-time command execution and use non-modular approach for complex maintenance work.

Configuration method
Configure all elements in one command. Separate job, view, and time settings.
Can multiple jobs be
configured?
No. Yes.
Can a job have multiple
commands?
No.
If you use the
schedule job
command
repeatedly, only the last configuration
takes effect.
Yes.
You can use the
time
command in job
view to configure commands to be
executed at different time points.
Supported views
User view and system view. In the
schedule job
command, shell represents
user view, and system represents system
All views. In the
time
command,
monitor represents user view.
