Schedule a script

Is there a way I can schedule a script to disable some ports in the night and re-enable them again. I want to reboot a POE device every night.

di inline-power port X
en inline-power port X

This should do it but I am trying to figure out if we can schedule the scripts without using Ridgeline? (from Arpit_Bhatt)

That makes sense. Thanks for the information.

Any idea when you would use UPM scripts over .xsf scripts?
1) If there is no Ridgeline.
Any other scenarios?

In this case I am using Ridgeline and have a script task schedule for port enable/disable. (from Arpit_Bhatt)

Hey Arbhatt

Yes you can do this using two UPM Profiles. UPM profiles are scripts that are dynamic. Here's how to do this for the disable power part you would do the same for enable inline power

Create upm profile power_off
disable inline power port X
.
Note that the "." has to be the by itself in the last line

Once the profile is built you create and add a timer

Create upm timer power_off_Timer
config upm timer "power_off_timer" at 11 27 2012 20 00 00 every 86400 (this timer would kick off at 8:00 pm and execute every day. Time is in seconds)

This attaches the timer to the profile

config upm timer "power_off_timer" profile "power_off"

You would do the same thing for the power on just pick a new time.

Hope that helps
