Delay cyclic job for reboot

Hi Guys

Is there a way I can delay a cyclic job, while a reboot takes place, and resume the job after reboot completes.

Running version 6.02.1 on Solaris

thanks in advance

Norman

If you want to do it manually you can right click on the job and hold it while it is waiting for the next time. When the reboot is complete then you can free them job.

You can have it controlled with a condition. Delete the condition (either manually or with a job) prior to the reboot. We do it with scheduled jobs. When the reboot is done then add the condition. This is actually how we handle a bi-weekly maintenance window. We have several thousand cyclic jobs. It is impossible for us to find a time when no jobs are active. Besides we would not want to manually hold thousands of jobs.

Yet another option is to use a quantatitive resource. Set the resource count to zero before the reboot. After the reboot set it back to the desired value. We don't do it this way.

the most is to create a quantitative resource by datacenter
