Time Formats

You can use the following global frequency flags for all platforms:

hourly 
daily HH:MM 
weekly DAY HH:MM

For example, to schedule database backups to run weekly on Sundays at 12:00 p.m., you would enter the following:

jamf-pro database schedules create --schedule-name name --frequency "weekly SUN 12:00"

Crontab requires five fields, each of which must be a number or an asterisk (*). The five fields are defined as follows:

minute (0 - 59)
| hour (0 - 23)
| | day of month (1 - 31)
| | | month (1 - 12)
| | | | day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday)
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
* * * * *

Enter an asterisk (*) to include every possible value for a field.

Examples

The following command would back up the database at 00:01 (12:01 a.m.) every day:

jamf-pro database schedules create --schedule-name name --frequency "1 0 * * *"

The following command would back up the database at 23:45 (11:45 p.m.) every Saturday:

jamf-pro database schedules create --schedule-name name --frequency "45 23 * * 6"
