Scheduling Periodic Actions

The UNIX cron command is useful for scheduling periodic tasks such as script invocations. This includes invocations of etautil commands (for checking or performing synchronization of accounts or users or performing refresh explore or correlate operations) and invocations of other utilities, such as etadailybatch and etacreateouglobalgroups. However, using etautil for invoking period explore or correlate operations is no longer recommended. Instead you can configure explore/correlate tasks directly within Identity Manager.
