Cron-use examples
Hi,
Does anybody use cron function in CS for day-to-day operations?
For example, cron settings for synchronizing to NTP, exporting some command outputs periodically, etc.?
I found a good example in Running a report in control station and If you have any other useful ones, please share your examples/experiences!
Thanks,
No Events found!

There are plenty of good uses for cron on the control station. In a previous life, we ran regular dumps of quota consumption of users. I had a cron jobs that would run nas_quota output, then use a local lookup file to convert TreeIDs to users and groups.
Other hand uses included things like using nas_fs -query to track the growth of SavVols. You'll find good examples here on EMC Community - you can just adapt them to cron and keep tabs on how quickly SavVols grow.
A customer I once worked with used cron to start manual filesystem scans (server_viruschk -fsscan fs02 -create).
There are a lot of handy uses - just keep in mind that long-running scripts can sometimes have a detrimental effect on the CS and it's activities. It's probably best to "start small", and gradually add more cron jobs, than to layer on piles of them in the beginning!
