Fileset FTP Timer Not Correct

[Ron Altic]

I have a Filset-ftp Timer set up to run every 15 minutes and it is only running every hour on the hour. Suggestions?

Clover 5.8.3

Filset-ftp Timer { CRON {0 2,17,32,42 * * * *} }

Ron,

To run every 15 minutes, it should look like this:

2,17,42,37 * * * *

Steve,

This is the way it is in the NetConfig from the Fileset FTP Advanced Scheduling.  { CRON {0 2,17,32,42 * * * *} }

Seconds is the first entry.  It seems to only fire at the top of the hour???

Hi Ron,

Not using advanced scheduling myself, but have you tried {* 2,17,32,42 * * * *}? Maybe specifying ‘0’ as seconds is the problem.

Yes Robert, I have tried using the astrick for the seconds and it seems to only fire on the hour.  I currently have it with no timing and it constantly runs and is working without issue, but I would like to get the scheduler working correctly if possible.

Thanks,

Ron

Ron,

Sorry about that…never used advanced scheduling and didn’t realize that it included seconds.  Based on the documentation, what you have setup should work, but obviously it isn’t.

Good luck.

Using an asterisk for the seconds value means once every second. If you want it only once each minute then give it the value of the second at which it is to fire (0…59).

Searched the forum and saw more people who had problems with Advanced Scehduling in combination with Fileset-FTP. No idea what causes it and whether it has been corrected in a later version.
