Setting up jobs and schedules is easiest within the HP-UX version of
Maestro, assuming a HP-UX system is the master. The executeable xmaestro is
found in the maestro users's $HOME/bin directory. Within the composer
application, it is easy to setup both MPE and HP-ux jobs and schedules.
   For MPE systems, you can build your schedules with your favorite editor (I
like Robelle's). Then add them within the command line version of composer.

An example of a schedules could be:

SCHEDULE MYCPU#SCHDNAME        (this is the node and schedule name)
   ON WEEKDAYS                               (runs on weekdays only)
:
FIRSTJ                                                 (name of maestro job)
   AT 0100                                           (starts at 01:00 am)
   EVERY 0020                                    (executes every 20 minutes)
   UNTIL 0500                                      (stops at 5:00 am)
UNIXCPU#SECNDJ                              (next maestro job)
   FOLLOW MPE2#THIRDJ                   (follows the successful completion of
maestro job THIRDJ running on some other MPE system)

END                                                     (ends schedule
definition)

 The schedules can be as simple or complex as you wish to make them, The cool
part is being able to utilize inter-system dependencies.

This just skims the surface of what can be accomplished.
