[[schedule-yearly]] ==== Yearly Schedule A <> that triggers at a specific day and time every year. To use the `yearly` schedule, you specify the month, day, and time (or months, days, and times) when you want the scheduler to start the watch execution with the `in`, `on`, and `at` attributes. You can specify the month by name, abbreviation, or number: * `january`, `february`, `march`, `april`, `may`, `june`, `july`, `august`, `september`, `october`, `november` and `december` * `jan`, `feb`, `mar`, `apr`, `may`, `jun`, `jul`, `aug`, `sep`, `oct`, `nov` and `dec` * `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `7`, `8`, `9`, `10`, `11` and `12` You specify the day of month as a numeric value between `1` and `31` (inclusive). The Times are specified in the form `HH:mm` on a 24-hour clock. You can also use the reserved values `midnight` and `noon` for `00:00` and `12:00`. ===== Configuring a Yearly Schedule To configure a once a year schedule, you specify the month with the `in` attribute, the day with the `on` attribute, and the time with the `at` attribute. For example, the following `yearly` schedule triggers once a year at noon on January 10th: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "trigger" : { "schedule" : { "yearly" : { "in" : "january", "on" : 10, "at" : "noon" } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE NOTE: You can also specify the month, day, and time with the `month`, `day`, and `time` attributes, they are interchangeable with `in`, `on`, and `at`. ===== Configuring a Multiple Times Yearly Schedule To configure a `yearly` schedule that triggers multiple times a year, you can specify an array of month, day, and time values. For example, the following `yearly` schedule triggers twice a year: at noon on January 10th, and at 5:00 PM on July 20th. [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "trigger" : { "schedule" : { "yearly" : [ { "in" : "january", "on" : 10, "at" : "noon" }, { "in" : "july", "on" : 20, "at" : "17:00" } ] } } } -------------------------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE Alternatively, you can specify the months, days, and times in an object that has `in`, `on`, and `minute` attributes that contain an array of values. For example, the following `yearly` schedule triggers at 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM on January 10th, January 20th, December 10th, and December 20th. [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- { "trigger" : { "schedule" : { "yearly" : { "in" : [ "jan", "dec" ], "on" : [ 10, 20 ], "at" : [ "midnight", "noon" ] } } } } -------------------------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE
