NAME
       idisched - schedule administrative commands

SYNOPSIS
       idisched [ -d ] [ [ -p ping-seconds ] [ -r retry-minutes ] [ -R
                      retry-days ]

DESCRIPTION
       Idisched accepts commands for remote hosts that cannot be contacted.
       The daemon queues these commands and tries periodically to contact
       the hosts to perform the commands.

       Idisched accepts commands from any number of idi processes.

       Output from commands executed by idisched is not displayed, but the
       output and error messages are written to idisched's log file.

       When a command is sent to idisched for later execution, idisched
       saves the timeout value to be used as the timeout for subsequent
       execution attempts.

       You can view idisched's job queue and remove entries from the queue
       with the admidisched(1M) command.

Options
       -d        Write debugging messages to standard output.

       -p ping-seconds
                 Adjust the number of seconds to wait when "pinging" remote
                 hosts to determine if they are alive.  The default is 2
                 seconds.

       -r retry-minutes
                 Adjust the interval between attempts to contact down hosts.
                 The default is 2 minutes.

       -R retry-days
                 Adjust the number of days to keep retrying commands.  The
                 default is 0, meaning that commands are retried
                 indefinitely.
