Hi,

I am trying to schedule jobs through the director. When I schedule a job that needs to be run daily or weekly then i can see it in the director. When i am trying to schedule the job for 1 single day then it does not get scheduled in the director but the job runs at the scheduled time.

After scheduling if i check using crontab -l or at -l or atq then also it does not appear in the list of scheduled jobs. but runs at the scheduled time.

Please advise.

Thanks

Single runs use 'at' while multiple occurances use 'cron'. Are you checking from the command line using the same user that scheduled the jobs?

yes. i'm checking using the same user to check from command line.

First off, please communicate in formal English here, not everyone has it as their native language and it helps tremendously if people don't abbreviate the crap out of their messages.

Now... Director works the same way as the command line does by default. It will only show you schedules for jobs that were scheduled by the logged in user. Are you logged in as the same user in Director?

Hi,

I am sorry for that. Will use formal English on the forum now.

yes am logged in as the same user in Director. I was facing the same problem in a previous project too where I used the at command to check the scheduled jobs.

Thanks

You really shouldn't see a problem like that. Both 'at' and 'cron' per user should show in the Schedule tab. You may need to open a support case with your official provider if no-one else has anything to add.

What flavor of UNIX by the way?
