    • Optional
    • Type: string
  • /software/cron/structure_cron/frequency
    • Description: Execution frequency for the command, using standard cron syntax. Minutes field can be 'AUTO :' in which case, a random value between 0 and 59 inclusive is generated. This can be used to avoid too many machines executing the same cron at the same time. See also the C element.
    • Optional
    • Type: string
  • /software/cron/structure_cron/timing
    • Description: If the 'timing' dict is used to specify the time, it can contain any of the keys: 'minute', 'hour', 'day', 'month' and 'weekday'. An unspecified key will have a value of '*'. A further key of 'smear' can be used to specify (in minutes) a maximum interval for smearing the start time, which can be as much as a day. When a smeared job is created, a random increment between zero and the smear time is applied to the start time of the job. If the start time results in the job running on the following day, then all other fields (day, weekday, etc) will be suitably modified. When smearing is specified, then the start minute (and possibly hour, if smear is more than one hour) must be specified as a simple absolute (e.g. '2') and cannot be variations such as lists or ranges. Time specifications such as ranges, lists and steps are supported except for named values (e.g. "1" must be used instead of "mon").
