Background applications can be configured to start automatically when a controller is powered on, or when the controller assumes the role of master/file server. Is it possible to schedule activation based on different criteria? Eg running a background task daily at a specified hour.

After searching through several manuals and many searches on the web, I have to say I don't think it's possible. You could either setup another server to remote in and run a command or...

This company sells a solution to schedule and replay tasks:
