Scheduler Settings

On the Scheduler tab, you can enable an option to scan objects automatically according to the schedule as well as specify this schedule and select the type.

Figure 61. Schedule configuration page

To enable automatic scheduled scans, select the Run a scheduled scanning check box. In this case, Dr.Web for Linux generates a schedule to periodically start certain type o scanning.

The scheduled scanning will start at the specified intervals by the notification agent or directly by the graphical management interface if it is launched when the scanning starts. Scheduled scanning is not launched if Dr.Web for Linux operates under control of the central protection server, or if an active license is not available.

Scanning started according to the schedule as well as scanning on demand is configured with the settings specified on the Scanner tab.

Scheduler Settings

If scheduled scanning is enabled, you can configure the following parameters:

•Days of week when scanning is to be started (by selecting the corresponding check boxes)

•Time (hours and minutes) when scanning is to be started

•Indicate the scanning type (Express scan, Full scan, or Custom scan).

•If you select Custom scan, you should also specify the list of objects for scanning. For that purpose, click the Objects to scan button (number of objects for scanning is indicated within the brackets).

After that, select the necessary object in the appeared window which is similar to the file chooser for custom scanning on demand. You can add objects to the list either by clicking the + button or by dragging and dropping them from the File manager window.

To disable scheduled scanning, clear the Run a scheduled scanning check box. The respective task for the notification agent will be automatically removed.
