Scheduler

The scheduler allows you to have actions run automatically on a timer. Examples include emailing edit notifications, importing new products into a store, or synchronizing with another instance of OpenEdit.

You can add or edit scheduler actions by going to the "Manage Site" link from the "OE Admin Toolbar". Then click on "Scheduler" in the "Web Site Manager" box.

There are three properties for any scheduler action:

  • Path: This is the path that will be visited by the Scheduler. Any actions in the .xconf for that path will be executed.
  • Start Delay: The specified path will be visited after this much time has passed after the server is started up.
  • Period: The specified path will be revisited continuously, pausing for this amount of time between each visit.
  • *Start Delay and Period times can be specified in days ("1d" = one day), hours ("12h" = 12 hours), minutes ("30m" = 30 minutes), or seconds ("10s" = 10 seconds).
