Scheduled Jobs showing as 'Not Scheduled'

I scheduled a job using the director - yet it still says 'not scheduled'

This is an issue for a few reasons, obviously - if I want to reschedule - I can't - I can schedule it for the time I want - but it will still run at the other time and because it says it is not scheduled - I can't cancel the original time scheduled.

Has anyone seen this issue?

Thanks,

Nicole

Schedules in 'cron' or 'at' are by user, are you sure you are checking when logged in as the same user that scheduled it originally?

I always login with the same userid and I would think that as soon as I schedule it in the director - then it would say 'scheduled' (or whatever it says) - but it still just says 'not scheduled'...waiting to see what my DS admin says about this.

Can you go down to the O/S and see what a "crontab -l" shows for your user? Assuming this is a recurring schedule, that is...

What is the command for jobs just executing once? I will eventually want to schedule daily but for now I was testing with just one run.

I think it is at -l?

I believe I am seeing the jobs I scheduled when I type this -

You would check in 'at' for a one-time schedule and 'cron' for recurring schedules. If you see it there but not in Director, I would suspect a bug.

Version 8 uses the Information Server scheduling service. There may be a bug (especially in version 8.0 or 8.0.1) in which the Director client does not correctly report scheduled jobs. Use the Scheduling facility in the Web console for Information Server.

So, is this service completely separate from cron/at/etc now? Or is it yet another interlude to them?

Separate, I believe.
