These commands will be discussed in the following sections, grouped by tasks. The most common qualifiers used for these commands are: /log and /confirm. /log causes each completed operation to issue a note to the user. /confirm requests the user to verify a selected job name is correct. Thus, you can enter the command:
C:\> schedule increment dept_query/log
To advance the start date of the job DEPT_QUERY to the next scheduled start time. The user gets a message from the system indicating that the job was submitted, because of the qualifier /log . If you wanted to copy the job definition of DEPT_QUERY to another job named QUERY_ALL, you would have to indicate the job name to be copied from followed by the name of the job to be copied to:
C:\> schedule dept_query query_all
