The following is tip #3 from "Managing Lotus Domino servers -- 15 tips in 15 minutes," excerpted from Chapter 14 of the book Lotus Notes and Domino 6 System Administrator Exam Cram 2, published by Sams Publishing.
Lotus Domino server tasks can be automated in one of two ways, either by assigning them in the Notes.ini file to run when the server starts or by creating a program document. Compacting databases or running system utilities are examples of programs used in Program documents. To create a Program document, open the Domino Administrator and navigate to the Configuration tab. Select Servers, Programs, and select Add Program. Complete these fields on the Basics section of the Basics tab:
- Program Name
- Command Line
- Server to Run On
- Comments (used to assist the administrator to define the purpose of the Program document)
The Basics tab also has a section where the Schedule is defined. The valid fields in this section are:
- Enabled/Disabled
- Run at Times
- Repeat Interval of
- Days of Week
Select the criteria needed for this document and click Save & Close. Entering Show Schedule at the server prompt shows all tasks, including programs that are enabled on the server.
