OneFS is based on FreeBSD, so it does have a cron utility.  You must be very careful however about running jobs in cron, because you could impact the cluster in a negative way if you are not careful.  If you have any questions about running a job in cron, reach out to your local Systems Engineer, or support resource to be sure that what you are trying to do cannot be done in another way. There may however be times when you have a legitmate reason to run a cron job on an Isilon cluster, and it is a very simple process.  To do it, you must create a file called /etc/local/crontab.local, preferably on the first node in the cluster.  Enter the crontab line into that file that you would like executed, using standard FreeBSD syntax. To force the system to re-read the crontab file, execute the following command:  # killall -HUP cron
Can I run cron jobs on an Isilon cluster, and if so, what is the best way to do that?
