Custom cron job in Vcenter Server appliance 6.7 version

Hi,

In vcenter 6.7 version, Can we create and schedule a cron job for executing the bash / perl script and the purpose of this bash / perl script is to generate local users customized report once in a 3 months and will be saved as the "Servername + ddmmyyhhmmss.log" .

As of now ,After logging into vsphere shell console using root privilege I am extracting this customized local user reports by executing the scripts manually every once in 3 months and I want to avoid this manual steps.

Thank you

you can try this suggestion:

cron jobs on vcsa 6.7 – Nick's Container on the cloud (ntitta.in)

vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 stops sending alert emails (54526) (vmware.com)

and for schedule every 3 months you can use on this crontab combination on file .cron
