schedule property

Required, except when used with UpdateJob.

Describes the schedule on which the job will be executed. The schedule can be either of the following types: * Crontab * English-like schedule As a general rule, execution n + 1 of a job will not begin until execution n has finished. Cloud Scheduler will never allow two simultaneously outstanding executions. For example, this implies that if the n+1th execution is scheduled to run at 16:00 but the nth execution takes until 16:15, the n+1th execution will not start until 16:15. A scheduled start time will be delayed if the previous execution has not ended when its scheduled time occurs. If retry_count > 0 and a job attempt fails, the job will be tried a total of retry_count times, with exponential backoff, until the next scheduled start time. If retry_count is 0, a job attempt will not be retried if it fails. Instead the Cloud Scheduler system will wait for the next scheduled execution time. Setting retry_count to 0 does not prevent failed jobs from running according to schedule after the failure.
