# Scheduling Parts of PMM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Plex Meta Manager allows you to schedule libraries, files, overlays, operations, and more so that runs can be tailored
|
||
|
|
to suit your needs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is particularly handy for users who have a lot of libraries or run a lot of Metadata/Operations on their libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### IMPORTANT:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These schedules do not trigger PMM to run; they control what PMM will do if it happens to be running at the scheduled
|
||
|
|
time. `weekly(sunday)`, for example, does not mean "run PMM on Sunday to do this thing"; it means "If PMM is running,
|
||
|
|
and it's Sunday, do this thing".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The scheduling options are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Name | Description | Format | Example |
|
||
|
|
|:-------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||
|
|
| Hourly | Update only when the script is run in that hour or hour range | hourly(Hour of Day)<br>hourly(Start Hour-End Hour) | `hourly(17)`<br>`hourly(17-04)` |
|
||
|
|
| Daily | Update once a day | daily | `daily` |
|
||
|
|
| Weekly | Update once a week on the specified days (For multiple days, use a bar-separated (<code>|</code>) list) | weekly(Days of Week) | `weekly(sunday)`<br><code>weekly(sunday|tuesday)</code> |
|
||
|
|
| Monthly | Update once a month on the specified day | monthly(Day of Month) | `monthly(1)` |
|
||
|
|
| Yearly | Update once a year on the specified day | yearly(MM/DD) | `yearly(01/30)` |
|
||
|
|
| Range | Updates whenever the date is within the range (For multiple ranges, use a bar-separated (<code>|</code>) list) | range(MM/DD-MM/DD) | `range(12/01-12/31)`<br><code>range(8/01-8/15|9/01-9/15)</code> |
|
||
|
|
| Never | Never updates | never | `never` |
|
||
|
|
| Non Existing | Updates if it doesn't exist | non_existing | `non_existing` |
|
||
|
|
| All | Requires that all comma separated scheduling options inside its brackets be meet in order to run | all[Options] | `all[weekly(sunday), hourly(17)]` |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `daily` is the default when `schedule` is not specified.
|
||
|
|
* You can run the script multiple times per day but using the `--time` command line argument detailed on the [Run Commands & Environmental Variables Page](../pmm/environmental.md).
|
||
|
|
* You can have multiple scheduling options as a list.
|
||
|
|
* You can use the `delete_not_scheduled` setting to delete Collections that are skipped due to not being scheduled.

<div id="schedule-library" />Uses the `schedule` [Library Attribute](libraries.md#Attributes) to set when a library will be run.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Other schedule rules for files, overlays, collections, and any other attribute that can be scheduled must also be
|
||
|
|
met.

|
|
different files are scheduled to run on each day of the week:
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<div id="schedule-overlays" />Uses the `schedule_overlays` [Library Attribute](libraries.md#attributes) to set when
|
||
|
|
overlays will run for a library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note: Overlay Files cannot be individually Scheduled, all Overlay Files must be scheduled for the same period.**

???+ example "Example"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below is an example of a collection which has been scheduled to run on a Sunday. In this scenario, if you run
|
||
|
|
PMM on a Monday, this collection will be skipped but any other collections which do not have a scheduled defined
|
||
|
|
will be run.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
???+ example "Example"
|
||
|
