The schedule command starts the client scheduler on your workstation. The client scheduler must be running before scheduled work can start.
If the schedmode option is set to polling, when you start the client scheduler it continuously contacts the server for scheduled events based on the time you specified with the queryschedperiod option in your client options file dsm.opt. If your administrator sets the queryschedperiod option for all nodes, that setting overrides your setting.
If you are using TCP/IP communications, the server can prompt your workstation when it is time to run a scheduled event. To do so, set the schedmode option to prompted in the client options file dsm.opt or on the schedule command.
After you start the client scheduler, it continues to run and to start scheduled events until you press Ctrl+Break, restart the workstation, or turn off the workstation to end it.

When you run the schedule command, all messages regarding scheduled work are sent to a file called dsmsched.log or to an alternate file you specify with the schedlogname option in your client options file dsm.opt. If you do not specify a directory path with the file name in the schedlogname option, the dsmsched.log file will reside in the default installation directory.
