Hi

 

I am closely following the example in doc

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.1/information-products/topic-collections/security/software-all/security/index.html

to create a policy scheduler that will work only this year and only on working days.

 

scheduler sched-pk {
    start-date 2012-01-01.11:00 stop-date 2013-01-01.11:00;
    sunday exclude;
    saturday exclude;
}

 However, I see that it is actually not working:

 

lab@srx240# run show schedulers 
Scheduler name: sched-pk, State: active
  Next deactivation: Tue Jan  1 11:00:00 2013

 It should be deactivating policy on next saturday, shouldn't it? Using Junos 12.1R2.

 

I've seen the same, it seems it only works as expected if you skip the start/stop date and do daily, with exclusions as before.
I guess you could just use two schedulers and two policies, one which does the opposite on the specific days.

help reference schedulers exclude says this:


Use the exclude statement to exclude a day from a daily schedule created
with the daily statement. You cannot use the exclude statement for a
particular day unless it is in conjunction with the daily statement in a
schedule.

Thanks, Adam,

 

So I will assume this is working as designed and the doc is wrong...
