CLI command "schedule-run"

tfranzke

I'd like to discuss two things within this post.

a) Is there a full CLI description for the "schedule" commands within the console environment. I can't find any CLI documentation on the following commands:

• schedule
• schedule-run
• schedule-object

I'd especially like to know what "schedule" and "schedule-object" can do. I have found a bit on "schedule-run" ([FAQ] How to set up a scheduled script (*.zysh) process on ZLD appliances – Zyxel Support Campus USA)

b) Is there a way to "schedule-run" on an hourly base? Even though this question has been posed by other users before there is no answer to it: Reboot and Schedule option — Zyxel Community

The reason why I'd like to have the hourly option is very simple:

The ddns agent is badly designed as it doesn't do anything as long as the ip address on the WAN side stays the same. There is no option to force the ddns agent to update on a scheduled / regular base. Anyhow, this situation is very common in European countries. As the ip address on the wan interface stays the same because the wan interface receives a private ip address from the ISP router. Within the ISP router the internal ip is configured as exposed host pointing towards the USG Flex. So on the USG Flex side the internal ip address on the WAN interface will never change and the ddns agent will never update. Which is very painful!

Alternatively:

Dear ZYXEL developer: PLEASE simply adjust this glitch which is stepping on my nerves since several years and which has been reported to you several times. It is so annoying not being able to reach a site simply because the ddns agent didn't do what it was designed for.
