Displaying Information about Completed Work

When you run the schedule command in the foreground, your screen displays output from the scheduled commands. Output is also directed to the dsmsched.log file in the current directory unless you change the path and file name using the schedlogname option.

When you run the schedule command in the background, output from scheduled commands is directed to the dsmsched.log file in the current directory, or to the path and file name that you specified. Please note that the dsmsched.log cannot be a symbolic link.

After scheduled work is performed, check the schedule log to verify that all work completed successfully.

   Scheduled event eventname completed successfully

The schedule log entry for the command's return code is prefaced with the following text:

The schedule log continues to grow unless you prune it using the schedlogretention option. See "Specifying Scheduling Options" for more information.
