| delete | delete the specified schedule. |
| name | of job whose schedule to add/delete. |

| n | Interval to execute a repeating schedule. |
| unit | of repeat interval. Where unit is one of second[s], minute[s], hour[s], day[s], week[s], month[s] & year[s]. |
| time | of first execution in the format hh:mm:[ss]. The default is the time the schedule is defined. |
| date | of first execution in the format dd/mm/yyyy. If the repeat period, repeats every 24 hours, this value is ignored. The default is day the schedule is defined. |
when day, week & month intervals cross a daylight savings boundary, the execution hour will remain unchanged, in effect decreasing/increasing the interval by an hour.
month intervals whose first execution date is on the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, and then subsequently fall on a month with less days, will then be executed on the last day of the shorter month. From that point on the execution day will remain the lesser day. e.g. a schedule that is executed every month, and whose first execution date is 31/1/2020, will execute as follows – 31/1/2020, 29/2/2020, 29/3/2020, … 28/2/2021, 28/3/2021, etc…
