## Working with the SIL™ Scheduler

The SIL™ Scheduler feature enables you to run SIL™ scripts after a valid Confluence interval or using a CRON expression.

The jobs are persistent, that is they are kept alive towards Confluence restarts. You can read about scheduling jobs here: [Scheduling routines](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SIL/pages/16523128). This mechanism uses the same scheduling engine, thus the same notes apply.


Each scheduled job has the following properties:

- Scheduler type - either an interval or a CRON expression
- Schedule - valid Confluence interval or a CRON expression
- Repeatable - if you use a Confluence interval, you can define whether the job should repeat at the specified interval
- Script - SIL Script that will run using the schedule that you define
- Arguments - job arguments
- Run script as - if specified, the script will run as if by a specified user

To schedule a CRON job, change the type to "CRON" and enter a valid schedule (CRON expression).

> ℹ️ To edit the actual scripts, use the [SIL™ Manager](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SIL/pages/16524082).

After saving the added job, a new entry is added to the table on the Administration page.
