iCall Trigger event for executing a command

Hello All,

 

I have to execute the below script at exactly 08:00AM on a particular day, this is not a periodic event. this is a one time execution of a command but I want to do it with an iCall script.

 

sys icall script profile_change {

app-service none

definition { 

exec modify ltm profile client-ssl xyz@example.com_C defaults-from new_parent_profile

}

description Parent_Profile_Change

events none

}

 

Can someone help me write a handler for this script?

    you can use periodic and use the options to make it sure it only runs once (ie first-occurrence, high interval and last-occurrence) , see the example and your options here:
