Manage schedules for tasks
Nerdio Manager allows you to configure schedules for tasks. The schedule can contain one or multiple entries, as in the following examples:
You can create a schedule to power off a server today at 18:00.
You can create a schedule to run the same scripted action on a host pool on Monday at 7:00 AM, Tuesday at 9:00 PM, and Sunday at 3:00 AM.
