Scheduling tasks to happen regularly

Using the $SYS_DIR/report_schedule file, you can schedule the following tasks to happen automatically on a regular basis:

The $SYS_DIR/report_schedule file can include any command, including those described in Using line commands. The commands included in the file are copied into the AIX crontab file for the Blueworx Voice Response user by the DTschedule script, as shown in Figure 1; the cron command then uses the crontab to tell it what to do.

A diagrammatic representation of the previous paragraph in the text.

DTschedule script sets the environment correctly for each command. DTschedule script is run whenever Blueworx Voice Response is started, so scheduled operations will continue after a shutdown until either Blueworx Voice Response is started up again, or you run DTschedule script from the command line.
