seeking real examples of changing schedule with bpplsched

I have this test schedule in place. What I'd like to do using any CLI command is change the Tuesday start window from 12:00 to 00:00. I've not seen any examples of how this is actually done. Man pages without examples are completely worthless, so there's no need to copy and paste useless documentation.

In the GUI, you can either directly edit a day or remove it and copy it from another. Examples of either would be useful.

    I usually like to use CLI but this is one case where the GUI is easier. 

     

    use the bpplschedrep command to modify a schedule via CLI

    you have to calculate start time and duration in seconds

     

    example from the admin guide:

    bpplschedrep newpolicy full -0 79200 7200 -6 79200 7200

     

       -0 means start on Sunday (-1 would be Monday, and so on)

        79200 / 3600 = 22 = 10PM  (3600 seconds in an hour)

        7200 / 3600 = 2 (hours)

       -6 means stop on Saturday

     

    so to put that in plain language, the command modifies Schedule full in Policy newpolicy to span

    Sunday 10PM - midnite through Saturday 10PM - midnite

     

    bpplsched newpolicy -U   (-L output looks messy and I advise not to use that switch)

      shows the modifed schedule

     

     

    now for your particular case, this should do it

    bpplschedrep test1 Default-Application-Backup -2 43200 43200

     modifies Tuesday start at noon (12 * 3600) for twelve hours (12 * 3600) backup window

     

    Whew!  That was fun smiley

    So much easier in the GUI
