Specifying times and periods

The Period determines when the event is run. You can specify the period in hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds), for example:

Period

Comment

1:00:00

Run the event every hour

6:00:00

Run the event every six hours

72:00:00

Run the event every three days

Monday

Run the event each Monday

15th

Run the event on the 15th of each month

25th June

Run the event on the 25th of June

You can also specify the time of day to synchronize the event, for example:

Period

Comment

6:00:00

Synchronize the event at 6:00 am

12:00:00

Synchronize the event at 12:00 midday

The Time synchronizes the time of day to run the event and, with the Period, determines when the event is run; for example:

Time

6:00:00

Period

1:00:00

In this example, the event is run every hour, on the hour. If you start your runtime system at 7:25am, your event is run at 8:00am, and then every hour after that.
