CLI: Job Schedulers
On This Page
The CLI references “skysync.” This is expected.

Example 2: List active job schedulers
In the following example, the authentication parameters are provided within the configuration file. See the authentication section for more information.
Command
Example 4: List job schedulers with "Maint" in their name
In the following example, the authentication parameters are provided within the configuration file. See the authentication section for more information.
Command
Show a Job Scheduler
This command will show the details of the specified job.
parameter | description | required | default |
|---|---|---|---|
id | The ID of the job scheduler for which details will be shown | required |
|
In the following example, the authentication parameters are provided within the configuration file. See the authentication section for more information. The parameters within the two curly braces (including the braces) will need to be replaced with valid values.

If the ID entered does not correspond to an existing job, for example, if the job was already deleted, the expected output is the following.

Job Scheduler Status
It is important to note that any scheduler status returned from the API or any status control functions invoked through the API are specific to the local node that you are executing the request against. If the desire is to control the status of schedulers across an entire cluster, then the requests need to made against every node in the cluster individually.
Start Job Scheduler(s)
This command will start the specified job scheduler(s). At least one job scheduler specification must be provided in order to start job schedulers. If the ID is provided, that job scheduler will be started. If any of the other parameters are provided, then those will be used to filter the entire job scheduler list and start the job schedulers based on the provided filtering parameters.
parameter | description | required | default |
|---|---|---|---|
id | The ID of the job scheduler to start | optional |
|
all | Starts all the jobs | optional |
|
search, q | Search text | optional |
|
active | Only retrieve active job schedulers | optional |
|
offset | Search offset | optional | 0 |
limit | Search page size | optional | 20 |
Example 1: Start a specific job scheduler by job scheduler ID
In the following example, the authentication parameters are provided within the configuration file. See the authentication section for more information. The parameters within the two curly braces (including the braces) will need to be replaced with valid values.

Example 3: Starting a filtered list of job schedulers
In the following example, we'll filter the job schedulers list by search text. The authentication parameters are provided within the configuration file. See the authentication section for more information. The parameters within the two curly braces (including the braces) will need to be replaced with valid values.
Command with variables
Here, only job schedulers with the text "Maint" in their names will be started.

Pause Job Scheduler(s)
This command will pause the specified job scheduler. This call will stop the scheduler from picking up any additional jobs but it will allow currently executing jobs to finish. The difference between pausing a scheduler and flat out stopping a scheduler with the "–wait" option is that this call will return immediately, while stopping with the "–wait" option will not return until all currently executing jobs will finish.
parameter | description | required | default |
|---|---|---|---|
id | The ID of the job to pause | optional |
|
all | Pause all the job schedulers | optional |
|
search, q | Search text | optional |
|
active | Only retrieve active job schedulers | optional |
|
offset | Search offset | optional | 0 |
limit | Search page size | optional | 20 |

Stop Job Scheduler(s)
This command will stop the specified job scheduler. This call will stop the scheduler from picking up any additional jobs and terminate (or optionally wait for) currently executing jobs. Once this call returns, the currently executing jobs on this node are no longer running.
parameter | description | required | default |
|---|---|---|---|
id | The ID of the job to stop | optional |
|
all | Stop all the job schedulers | optional |
|
search, q | Search text | optional |

active | Only retrieve active job schedulers | optional |
|
wait | Wait for currently executing jobs to finish | optional |
|
offset | Search offset | optional | 0 |
limit | Search page size | optional | 20 |
