Scheduling scripts

Scheduled tasks for running scripts on CPE devices can be created in the task scheduler. When creating a scheduled task, you must select a CPE template, scripts, and devices on which you want to run the scripts.

You can run scripts on all devices that are using the CPE template or on a subset of devices by specifying tags or manually selecting the devices.

To create a scheduled script task:

1. In the menu, go to the Scheduler section.

   The table of scheduled tasks is displayed.

2. In the upper part of the page, click + Delayed task.
3. This opens a window; in that window, in the Type drop-down list selectScript execution.
4. In the Name field, enter the name of the scheduled task.
5. In the CPEs to run script on drop-down list, select the CPE devices on which you want to run the scripts:
   • All CPEs with selected template to run the scripts on all devices that are using the CPE template.
   • All CPEs with selected template and specific tags to run the scripts on devices that are using the CPE template and have the specified tags. If you select this value, specify the CPE device tags in the Tags field.
   • Specific CPEs with selected template to run scripts for manually selected devices using the CPE template. If you select this value, select the CPE devices under CPEs.
6. Under CPE template, select the CPE template that contains the scripts that you want to run.
7. Under Scripts, select the scripts that you want to run.
8. In the Completion date and time field, enter the date and time when you want to run the scheduled task. By default, the date and time specified is the date and time when you started creating the scheduled task.
9. Click Create.

A scheduled task for running the script is created and displayed in the table.
