How to set parity check schedule to start at midnight on the first day of the beginning of the quarter? ie. Jan, April, July, October?

[visionmaster]

I've tried to set this up on unRaid 6.5.0 on scheduler without success.  I'd like the parity check to run 4 times a year automatically, at midnight once every 3 months.  Is this possible in the settings?

 

Thanks!

Specify "Custom", "00:00", "Sunday", "First week", "January, April, July, October".

 

Then it will run at midnight on Sunday of first week in month on first month in each quarter.

Great! Thanks!

Just a little scary thought - might be good to select second week in month or select last day of week. I'm not sure what unRAID will do for a partial week.

First week is defined as dates 1 to 7 in the month, there is always a Sunday (or any other day) present, though the date may vary.

 

Ps. On the dashboard page you can see when the next scheduled parity check is due, the time on the page is updated in real-time.

Is "last week" defined as the last 7 days of the month, or as the excess days after the first four weeks?

First week = date 1 - 7

Second week = date 8 - 14

Third week = date 15 - 21

Fourth week = date 22 - 28

Last week = last 7 days of the month, e.g. 25 - 31 or 24 - 30

 

Ps. It even takes into account leap years. So it might be that last week of February becomes date 23 - 29.
