Editor - Repeat_Time Command

to Feature Tour
Repeat_Time specifies the frequency with which the script
will be repeated. A repeating script always computes the next instance based
on the scheduled time for the current instance and this value. The script
does not store a schedule. If you wish to repeat a script every week on
Monday and Thursday, you would specify a Weekly value for Repeat_Time and
schedule two entries, one for Monday and one for Thursday. The pending queue
will then display two entries for the same script, each one operating
weekly.
Note: Remember that multiple scheduled distributions
are independent of each other. The Repeat_Time command specifies the period.
The pending queue contains the schedule.
The Workday modifier adjusts the actual start day of the script so it does
not take place on a weekend or a holiday. This will cause the schedule to
vary once the script begins running.
Note: The next instance of a script is scheduled
BEFORE the current instance is allowed to run. If the script runs past the
next start time, the next instance will be moved from a queued to a blocked
state in the pending distribution display.
You may change the frequency of a distribution by modifying the Repeat_Time
and recompiling the script. The new value will be applied the next time the
distribution is executed
Example:
:Repeat_Time: Daily, Workday
:Repeat_Time: 30 minutes
:Repeat_Time: Weekdays
