Tasks and scheduled jobs commands

Use the commands in this section to list or run IBM® Flex System Manager tasks, and to schedule one or more noninteractive tasks to run at a later time. You can specify an exact date and time that you want the scheduled task to start, or you can set the scheduled task to repeat automatically at a specified interval.

You can schedule only noninteractive tasks, which are tasks that do not require any user input or interaction. Scheduled tasks are referred to as jobs.

Tip: The following functions are not available through the command-line interface. Use the IBM Flex System Manager Web interface instead.
  • Creating a job
  • Suspending and resuming a job
  • Clearing all jobs in the job history log
  • Listing jobs in calendar view
