Automatic Cron Commands What Conditions can be Specified for Cron

Severe crashes that are likely to have serious consequences require the command RUN;I to
restart, when RUN will work after mild ones. You might wish to omit RESTORE from the
above command file and change RUN;I to RUN so that the system will not restart
automatically after severe crashes or if tables are reconstructed.
If you have cron restore reconstructed tables automatically after a crash, make sure a current
and complete backup is present in the root directory on the default drive. You can use a cron
command to automatically back up system data every day.
Reboot Cron Entry
A cron entry that begins with a caret (^) will be executed when the Site Controller is rebooted.
The caret is all that is required to specify this condition. Remember to leave a space between
the caret and the command. If there is more than one of this type of entry, only the first will be
executed.

The optional hyphen (-) before the command name suppresses output to the printer. This
allows the command to execute when someone is logged on to the command terminal. Will
display REBOOT in the When column of P CR output.
Below is an example of a command file for the reboot cron entry.
Transaction-memory Cron Entry
A cron entry that begins with a percent sign (%) will be executed when the Transfile XX% full
message is logged. The format of a transaction-memory cron entry is:
% [-]command
The optional hyphen (-) before the command name suppresses output to the printer. This
allows the command to execute when someone is logged on to command terminal.
The transaction-memory cron entry will display Memory in the When column of PRINT
CRON output. The point at which this cron executes is set in configuration.
