Job scheduling and Automated Execution

Job Scheduling allows you to run Sync Jobs automatically at specific times and intervals.

YOU NEED PLUS LICENSE TO SCHEDULE JOBS

You will need to purchase a PLUS license to enable this functionality.

Set Up Job Scheduling

You can configure scheduling when:

• Creating a new job (Step 4: Scheduling)
• Editing an existing job to add a schedule

Add or Edit a Job to Configure Scheduling

To open the Job Manager, click the toolbar icon in the Home menu.
Then, click either Add Job or Edit Job, and go to Step 4: Scheduling.

How to Schedule a Job

1. Check the box labeled Run whenever time units ~ to enable scheduling.
2. Set the desired repeat schedule using the Time and Date fields.
3. Click Simulate to preview when the job will run.
4. After confirming the schedule is correct, click Save.

Once saved, click the calendar icon or the scheduled date under Upcoming Schedule to visually review the configured execution times.

Understanding Time and Date fields

Understanding Time and Date fields

The schedule configuration supports Crontab-style values, allowing for precise and flexible scheduling to meet a wide range of user needs.

Field Name	Allowed Values	Description
Minute	0-59	Minute of the hour
Hour	0-23	Hour of the day
Day of Week	0-6	0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, …, 6 = Saturday
Day of Month	1-31	Day of the month
Month	1-12	1 is January, 2 if February, and so on.

Accepted Formats:

• Empty value : Matches every unit (e.g., every minute if Minutes is blank).
• n1, n2, ... : List values (e.g., 1,3,5 for Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
• n1-n2 : Range of values (e.g., 0-2 means 0, 1, 2).
• n1-n2/n3: Range with step (e.g., 6-12/3 means 6, 9, 12).

The fields — Minute, Hour, Day of Week, Day of Month, and Month — work together using a logical AND operation. This means the job will run only when all conditions are met.

📌 Example: Running a sync job at 1:30 AM on the first Sunday of every month. To achieve this schedule, configure the following fields:

• Time (1:30 AM):

  • Minute: 30
  • Hour: 1

• Date (first Sunday of each month):

  • Day of Month: 1-7 — matches the first seven days of the month
  • Day of Week: 0 — where 0 represents Sunday
  • Month: Leave blank — applies to all months

✅ This combination ensures the job runs only when the date is within the first week and falls on a Sunday, effectively scheduling it for the first Sunday of each month at 1:30 AM.

RcloneView Must Be Running for Scheduled Jobs

For scheduled jobs to execute properly, RcloneView must be running in the background.   If your job is configured to use an external rclone engine, ensure that the external rclone instance is also active and running at the scheduled time.

Check Job Scheduling Results

View Execution History in the Job Manager

You can verify both the most recent execution time (Last execution) and the next scheduled run (Upcoming Schedule) in the Job Manager window.

To view details of execution history of the job:

• Open the Job Manager.
• Click the history icon to open the job execution history for the selected job.

In the Execution Type column, entries marked as Scheduled indicate that the job was triggered automatically by the scheduler.

Verify the Logs for Multiple Destinations

If your job includes multiple destination remotes, click on each destination tab individually in the History view to review the log details for each target.

Completion notification alarm (Windows)

After the job is complete, a notification popup will appear in the Windows system tray, showing a summary of the sync operation.

• You can click See details to view a full breakdown of the results.

See the alarm messages on Windows notification

If you miss the popup, you can still check the sync alert by clicking the notification icon in the Windows system tray.
