In EAServer, a scheduled task is a background task that runs at server startup, shutdown, or at scheduled intervals during server operation. You can use scheduled tasks to automate periodic configuration and maintenance activities.EAServer provides several predefined tasks to perform common maintenance operations such as collecting memory and component invocation statistics. You can define new tasks by assembling them from common, predefined operations such as checking log files and sending administrator mail. You can also define tasks to call application code, such as an enterprise JavaBean method or an application client. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Using Scheduled Tasks.”
