Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 - Manual (Page 87)

Chapter 3 Administering Computers 87
When you schedule an automated task, information about the scheduled task is saved
on the administrator computer. At the appointed time, the client software on that
computer activates and initiates the task. Remote Desktop must be open to perform a
scheduled task.
Setting Scheduled Tasks
Any task with the Schedule Task button active can be scheduled. Tasks that you have
scheduled appear in the Saved Tasks list in the main Remote Desktop.
To schedule a task:
1 Select a computer list.
2 Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3 Choose the task you want to schedule from the menu bar.
4 Configure the task as needed.
5 Before executing the task, click the Schedule button.
The scheduling dialog opens.
6 Choose whether you want the task to execute now, or at a specific time.
If you choose a specific time, enter the date and time.
Selecting “Run Now” rather than “At a Specified Time” turns off scheduling for that task.
7 If you want the task to repeat, click Repeating, then set the repeat interval.
8 Click OK.
9 Save the task.
Button Definition
Any task with a Schedule button active can be scheduled.
For tasks that have already been scheduled and have pending
events, the Schedule button is slightly different.
