schedule

The schedule for this action. The following formats are supported:

• At expressions - "at(<i>yyyy</i>-<i>mm</i>-<i>dd</i>T<i>hh</i>:<i>mm</i>:<i>ss</i>)"

• Rate expressions - "rate(<i>value</i> <i>unit</i>)"

• Cron expressions - "cron(<i>fields</i>)"

At expressions are useful for one-time schedules. Cron expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run periodically at a specified date and time, and rate expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run at a regular interval.

At and cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default.

The cron format consists of six fields separated by white spaces: [Minutes] [Hours] [Day_of_Month] [Month] [Day_of_Week] [Year].

For rate expressions, value is a positive integer and unit is minute | minutes | hour | hours | day | days.
