Nimbostratusconfigsync schedule
I'm pretty new to F5, so this may be an easy question. I would like to FTP my configuration to an FTP site on a regular basis, and I'd like to do this after my primary syncs the config to the failover. My question is where can I see the schedule for the synchronization? I can see with the "b config sync show" command that my configsync runs ("Last Configsync 2009-09-25 11:51:17"), but I may want to change that. Is there a way to see what the actual scheduled configsync is? I want to see more than just when the last sync was.

- The_BhattmanOut of the box, the F5 configsync process is not automated. This could be automated by cronjobs at a specific interval. The following are configs to perform backups

I hope this helps

OviShare_69630Thing is, I know it IS automated. My F5's are being synched every Monday morning. I just don't know how that is happening, because I can't see the schedule.- hoolio

If your config is being sync'd automatically, it's due to something external to the default configuration. There may be a cronjob that someone added. You can check using 'crontab -l' from the command line. Or it could be done from an external script via SSH or iControl (or possibly Enterprise Manager).

uh.... how would I know? 
Nick_T_68319I don't think the Enterprise Manager has an option to do configsync's on a schedule. It is probably a cron job.
