Instead of deleting and re-defining the schedule , we've changed our procedures to just update the schedule with a new starttime/startdate of NOW+hh:ss and TODAY. Saves having to del/define/associate everything. This way you can manually define the schedule the way you want before creating the script. And then change the association if need be without script changes. You can't update a script if the server is currently running that script. Our daily storage pool backup script runs with lots of WAIT=YES, so it's difficult to update that script. We've tried to move as much OUT of the script as we can to ease changes.
Unfortunately, UPDATEing the schedule also seems to remove any event history. Just like deleting a schedule, all event history is removed, too.

I could automate it with an AT command, but I would rather just use one scheduler on my system (makes my documentation and continued maintenance cleaner). I have a batch file that I run daily by hand, that copies device config, volume history, and license files to a floppy. I would like to automate this to run daily after the database dump is done automatically. For this example, my batch file is C:\TSMBATCH.BAT TIA ... Jack
