Create jobs that runs a powercli script every day at 20:00

Hi all

I'm looking for a way to add a powercli script to cron or schduler so that it runs every day at 20:00 say... I found average windows wrt link below

http://social.msdn.Microsoft.com/forums/SharePoint/en-us/e63d0776-b4aa-4ab6-885c-a41fd0c83a7c/create-job-that-runs-a-PowerShell-script-every-day?Forum=sharepointgeneralprevious

Is there better way that this can be done for powercli as well?

Thank you

AFAIK, except if you have a few programming specifialised run SW, Windows Scheduler did a good job.

BTW, Alan has also made a post on this, see running a scheduled task PowerCLI

  • Dbms_job, how to run a script every day at 06:00

    Hello

    I want to run a task every day at 06:00. To do this, I ran this script yesterday 26.

    DECLARE
    X NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    SYS. DBMS_JOB. Send
    (work = > X)
    , this = > ' start
    Tools.followup (1); Tools.purge (20);
    end; »
    , next_date = > to_date (May 27, 2009 06:00 ',' dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
    , interval = > TRUNC (SYSDATE + 1) + 6/24
    , no_parse = > FALSE
    );
    SYS. DBMS_OUTPUT. Put_line (' job number is: ' | to_char (x));
    COMMIT;
    END;
    /


    The problem is that, after the first execution next_date was 27 06:02!

    Is this a bug?

    Thanks in advance
    A.G.

    Are you sure of the definition of work? The DBMS_JOB. Call to SUBMIT, you have validated, for example, is incorrect, because the INTERVAL parameter takes a string, not a date.

    If your script is

      ,interval => 'TRUNC(sysdate+1)+6/24'
    

    who would ever resolve at 06:00. I would tend to believe that the actual definition of the specified simply task

      ,interval => 'sysdate+1'
    

    If it took 2 minutes to run, that would solve at 06:02.

    Have users run main_script.sql, which looks like this

  • dbms_scheduler - possible to have a job that takes place in 10-11 Mon - Sam, but Sunday at 11 just?

    Hello

    With the help of 11.2.0.3 and I was wondering if possible to have a dbms_scheduled job that runs at 10 and 11, Mon - Sat, but only 11 Sunday.

    Currently have a f = interval daily work which runs 10 and 11 all day and I was wondering if possible to change to reveal a turn at 11 Sunday rather than 10 and 11 or you must separate job Sunday for that?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You don't need 2 jobs for this, only 2 different calendars:

    BEGIN
    -- Daily mon to sat at 10 am and 11 am
    dbms_scheduler.create_schedule('mon_to_sat_sched', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT;BYHOUR=10,11'); 
    
    -- Sunday at 11 am
    dbms_scheduler.create_schedule('sunday_sched', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=SUN;BYHOUR=11');
    END;
    /
    

    Now to clarify these times for your business:

  • SSAudit Log is reset every day

    We have SSAUDIT enabled in the essbase.cfg file. When we look at our .alg file, it appears that audit records start over every day. For example, Monday, the first record on the .alg will read:

    Journal of updates of the user [pedersoa@DEV OID] starting at line [1] for a Total of [10] lines.

    The next day (Tuesday) the .alg file in ADDITION to the records of the previous day:

    Journal of updates of the user [pedersoa@DEV OID] starting at line [1] for a Total of [6] lines.

    In simple terms, it looks like the .alg file "RESETS" every day which makes an impossible audit over the long term. So basically what we have is a file .alg with thousands of lines of audit that restarts every day.

    How can I get the .alg DO NOT reset file every day?
    Thank you

    Hi Chris,

    Hope that your version of Essbase is not 11.1.2.1.102 or 11.1.2.1.103. If Yes, then this is a bug

  • PowerCLI Scripting - create or remove automatic instant

    It is a script noob question...

    I have an ESXi4.1 host several VM that create twice daily snapshots. After a week or two, I have a TON of pictures to delete. I can manually run the commands below every week or two to remove all these clichés but its becoming a chore, so I would like to create a script that runs once a week to do a little cleaning. Trying to automate this process, I run a question after the "remove-snapshot" I need to channel into the question "[a] yest at all."

    Not exactly, but it's pretty close to what my script does:

    to connect-viserver < ip > - < user > - < password >

    Get - vm | Get-snapshot | Remove-snapshot

    ????????? Question answer with 'A '?

    output

    Y at - it a simple way to pipe in this 'A '.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    All you have to do is to add at the end of the line - confirm: $false

    connect-viserver  -user  -password 
    get-vm | get-snapshot | remove-snapshot -confirm:$false
    

    This indicates the command for you does not invite to respond every time.

  • PowerCLI Script to the report on the failed VM jobs

    I figured out how to report on the events of VM (get-vievent), but no has no stains of VM. If a snapshot of the virtual computer fails, sometimes it never connect the events of the VM, but lists an error on the display of tasks. We are trying to monitor the clichés failed since its part of our backup solution.

    I was looking for a way to report these tasks/failure of events in a daily report, or simply add to the daily report of amazing Alan Renouf that we use.

    does anyone have any suggestions? For an example, see the attached screenshots. See how, in the view tasks, you have mistakes, but in the view of events, there is no errors.

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    This script displays the name of the virtual machines which met with an instant failure in the last 48 hours (a variable, you can change)

  • How to create a task that runs once a day, immediately after the opening of session?

    Hello, I'm wondering how to create a task using the Task Scheduler that runs once a day, immediately after I have logon.

    The reason is I want to use Bing Desktop to change my wallpaper every day. However, I just want to run the first time I start my computer every day, so it will change the wallpaper. By default, it starts whenever I have to logon. It's annoying, because I just want it to start once a day to change the wallpaper. However, using the Task Scheduler, I put only a trigger to start "at the opening of session' or"once a day." If I choose once per day, it runs about 5-10 min after I login, instead of logon immediately after. If I choose the two triggers, then it starts after each session.

    Basically, I just want the Task Scheduler to launch the program after the connection the first time I connect to the computer on any given day. How can I do this?

  • How to run a job that will check if the files exist?

    I have a file in real time ' ' which has about 15 files (test1.txt, other.txt etc.) txt, theres is other jobs that nothing related to coldfusion that if something fails then the file no longer exists.

    So I want to create a job if there is no such thing as a txt file so he sent me an email.

    What would be the best way to do something like that?

    I have to check for every individual txt, something like file?

    <cfset Pathtest = "\\folder1\dept\Alerts\other.txt">
    
    <cfif !fileExists(Pathtest)>
      <cfmail ...>
      sent me a email
      </cfmail>
        
    </cfif>
    

    If all the files are in the same directory, you can create a list separated by commas (or even a table) file names, and that loop.

    
    
    
        
            ... email me ...

  • Plan the work that runs according to max date in the source to create table

    Hi all

    I am trying to create an automation in my sql. Basically, I have a table I do reporting and analysis on which is a subset of records from a source table. For the purposes of this example, I called the source table "src_table" and my table as the target table, "tgt_table." Essentially the source table gets updated with a value again months from date (founded order_dt) and I have a procedure I call when the source table is updated to load the value of the new month of records in my target table. So let say June 2012 data is loaded in the source table, I call my procedure that has a date parameter and enter June 2012 as the point of departure date so that it looks for new records in the source table from June 1, 2012 and load it into my target table. For variety reasons I won't get in, my goal in a position is not a view, there must be a stand alone table. The problem is that the source never table gets updated at the same speed interval... sometimes they will load a new months of data at the beginning of the following month, sometimes medium of the month... sometimes I have to wait a few months to get another month of data. So, whenever I get a email notification telling me another month of data is loaded in the source table, I have a windows batch file that runs my setting... I just have to change the start date (based on the order_dt column) and run it. I want to do is automate the process so that I did not yet do. What do I think creates a task that runs every day or even at the end of each month, this work has basically seized the date of maximum order of the source table and if the date of the order is greater than the maximum order date in my target table, it runs my procedure that loads the new month with a value of data in my target table. Thus, for example, my maximum order of my target table date is May 31, 2012. The work runs at a certain period of time and check the maximum date on the source table, if the maximum date is May 31 nothing happens... new data has not been loaded so does not perform the procedure. If the maximum date on the source table is June 30, 2012, the maximum date is greater than the maximum in my table target date so that the procedure runs. I need also the procedure to insert records into the table in the source where the order date in the source table is > = at the time of maximum order in the target table.

    In a Word, this is what I need but I'm not sure how to put in place. The procedure works fine... all I need is an interim procedure that runs as a scheduled task every x number of days and the date of maximum order check on the source table if it exceeds the maximum order on my table of target date it runs my procedure. My procedure is called "insert_new_orders" and when I run it I run it like:

    execute insert_new_orders('01-jun-2012');

    If anyone can help me with what would be great :-)

    Thank you
