Set-JobTrigger

Short description
Changes the job trigger of a scheduled job.

Syntax


Description
The Set-JobTrigger cmdlet changes the properties of the job triggers of scheduled jobs. You can use it to change the 
time or frequency at which the jobs start or to change from a time-based schedules to schedules that are triggered by 
a logon or startup.


A "job trigger" defines a recurring schedule or conditions for starting a scheduled job. Although job triggers are not 
saved to disk, you can change the job triggers of scheduled jobs, which are saved to disk.


To change a job trigger of a scheduled job, begin by using the Get-JobTrigger cmdlet to get the job trigger of a 
scheduled job. Then, pipe the trigger to Set-JobTrigger or save the trigger in a variable and use the InputObject 
parameter of Set-JobTrigger cmdlet to identify the trigger. Use the remaining parameters of Set-JobTrigger to change 
the job trigger.


When you change the type of a job trigger, such as changing a job trigger from a  daily or weekly trigger to an 
AtLogon trigger, the original trigger properties are deleted. However, if you change the values of the trigger, but 
not its type, such as changing the days in a weekly trigger, only the properties that you specify are changed. All 
other properties of the original job trigger are retained.


Set-JobTrigger is one of a collection of job scheduling cmdlets in the PSScheduledJob module that is included in 
Windows PowerShell.


For more information about Scheduled Jobs, see the About topics in the PSScheduledJob module. Import the 
PSScheduledJob module and then type: Get-Help about_Scheduled*  or see about_Scheduled_Jobs.


This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
