To create and start a cron process, do the following:
1. Verify that you have the necessary privilege. You must be included in the admin.bos file on the machine where the process is to be started. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to check.
2. Create an entry for the cron process in the BosConfig file, and start it:
$ bos create -server machine -process server_process -type cron -cmd cmd_line...
The -type cron option specifies this as a cron process.
Following is a sample cron process entry named backup on the machine named fs1. The -localauth option allows the unauthenticated process to use the DFS server principal of fs1 to execute the privileged fts clonesys command.
$ bos create /.../abc.com/hosts/fs1 backup cron "dcelocal/bin/fts clonesys \
-s /.../abc.com/hosts/fs1 -localauth" 5:30
