How to schedule a script in Synology Task Scheduler

To schedule a script to run on your Synology at boot-up or shut-down follow these steps:

Note: You can setup a schedule task and leave it disabled, so it only runs when you select the task in the Task Scheduler and click on the Run button.

Go to Control Panel > Task Scheduler > click Create > and select Triggered Task.
Select User-defined script.
Enter a task name.
Select root as the user (The script needs to run as root).
Select Boot-up as the event that triggers the task.
Leave Enable ticked.
Click Task Settings.
Optionally you can tick Send run details by email and Send run details only when the script terminates abnormally then enter your email address.
In the box under User-defined script type the path to the script.
- e.g. If you saved the script to a shared folder on volume1 called "scripts" you'd type:
- /volume1/scripts/syno_hdd_db.sh -nr --autoupdate=3
- For information on the options see Options
Click OK to save the settings. Here's some screenshots showing what needs to be set:

To Run the task right click and select run. If this doesn't work you will need to use Putty in windows and use command line as described above.
