Line-Mode Examples

You keep your things-to-do list in a CMS file. Every morning when you arrive at work, you run an EXEC called TODO that prints the file if you have updated it. You named the job TODOLIST.

• To schedule the job TODOLIST to run at 6:00 a.m. so your new to-do list is ready when you arrive at work, enter the following command:

  vmsched schedule todolist todo (at 06:00:00 again daily
  

• To run it every business day, enter the following command:

  vmsched schedule todolist todo (at 06:00:00 again bdaily
  

• If you were using your to-do list only for a special project in June and July instead of permanently, enter the following command:

  vmsched schedule todolist todo (at 06:00:00 again daily from 06/01/yy until 07/31/yy
  

• To run it every other day during June and July, enter the following command:

  vmsched schedule todolist todo (at 06:00:00 again bi daily from 06/01/yy until 07/31/yy
