?SCHEDULE

Syntax

── ? ── SCHEDULE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────%

Explanation

The ?SCHEDULE command lists each schedule session currently active or scheduled with the same usercode as that of the station where the command is entered. Whether or not any such sessions exist, a summary of the schedule facility status is produced.

Each schedule session is identified by its schedule number, and an indication of its status is given.

The status regarding a schedule session is explained in the following table:

Status

Meaning

SN=1234

Active session, logged-on as session #1234

RUNNING

Active session, logging-on or off

WAITING

Session waiting for schedule station

18:30

Session to be run after 6:30 pm

06:30T

Session to be run after 6:30 am tomorrow

(12:00)

Session to have been run after noon, now waiting

RESTART

Session awaiting restart

The summary of the schedule facility status displays the following:

  • The current limit (number of schedule sessions CANDE can run at once)

  • The number of schedule stations attached to CANDE (if different from the limit)

  • The number of active sessions

  • The number of sessions ready (waiting for a station)

  • The number pending (waiting for an after time)

  • The time for the first pending station

Except for the limit, no numbers are suppressed. The schedule facility is not initialized automatically until one minute after CANDE is started or restarted. In this case, the summary says “#SCHEDULE NOT YET INITIALIZED; LIMIT=n” (where n is the limit CANDE attempts to establish when initialization takes place).

Example

?SCHE
#00020 SN=1123
#SCHEDULE LIMIT=5 NO USERLIMIT ACTIVE=1
