+
+Task scheduler
+--------------
+
+Task scheduler — allows scheduled task execution. Note that scripts excecuted this way are executed as root user - this may be dangerous.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ system
+ task-scheduler
+ task <name>
+ cron-spec <UNIX cron time spec>
+ executable
+ arguments <arguments string>
+ path <path to executable>
+ interval
+ <int32>[mhd]
+
+Interval
+********
+
+You are able to set the time as an time interval.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system task-scheduler task <name> interval <value><suffix>
+
+Sets the task to execute every N minutes, hours, or days. Suffixes:
+
+ * m — minutes
+ * h — hours
+ * d — days
+
+If suffix is omitted, minutes are implied.
+
+Or set the execution time in common cron time.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system task-scheduler task TEST crontab-spec "* * * 1 *"
