The Configuration File might look like this:
| Code Block |
|---|

host=mediaflux.researchsoftware.unimelb.edu.au
port=443
transport=https

Create a Configuration File. In this case we are going to use a secure token. In our example, it will be stored in %HOMEPATH%\Documents\mflux.cfg.

Create a batch file to perform the upload using Notepad. In our example, it will be stored in %HOMEPATH%\Documents\upload.bat:
| Code Block |

|
%HOMEPATH%\Documents\unimelb-mf-clients-0.7.7\bin\windows\unimelb-mf-upload --mf.config %HOMEPATH%\Documents\mflux.cfg --log-dir %HOMEPATH%\Documents\logs --dest /projects/proj-demonstration-1128.4.15 %HOMEPATH%\Documents\data-to-upload |

Create a shell script to perform the upload using the text editor of your choice. In our example, it will be stored in ~/bin/upload.sh:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
#!/bin/bash
~/bin/unimelb-mf-clients-0.7.4/bin/unix/unimelb-mf-upload --mf.config ~/.Arcitecta/mflux.cfg --log-dir ~/logs --dest /projects/proj-demonstration-1128.4.15 ~/data-to-upload |

Edit the crontab file with the following command:
Create a new scheduled task at the end of the crontab file. To see documentation on the format, try the man 5 crontab command. In our example, we will run the command once per day at 1 am local time.
| Code Block |
|---|
|
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
0 1 * * * $HOME/bin/upload.sh |
Save the file, and your job will be scheduled.
