not sure we understand this, Do you want @10:45am shutdown and no shutdown interface fas 0/1 ?

hello Balaji,

The restart-inferface is just the name I should have use a different name.

I just need to shutdown  the interface at 10.45 am this exercise is just a test .

Looks there is Limitation in kron, its not excuting what expected, instead you can use EEM as below :

event manager applet shut-interface
event timer cron name shutdown-interface-schedule cron-entry "45 10 * * *"
action 01.0 cli command "enable"
action 02.0 cli command "config t"
action 03.0 cli command "interface FastEthernet0/1"
action 04.0 cli command "shutdown"
action 05.0 syslog msg "Interfeace FastEthernet0/1 has been shutdown by EEM applet"
end

Tested and working as below in my LAB (just used time 16:46)

Hello 

I will try the new method but I am trying to understand the event time line

event timer cron name shutdown-interface-schedule cron-entry "45 10 * * *"

for example if you need an event to happen ever 60 minutes (1 hr) how do amend the event timer line to do so.

Hello Expert,

The event manager work perfect.

 I am trying to understand the event time line

event timer cron name shutdown-interface-schedule cron-entry "45 10 * * *"

Could you please modify the event manager to restart the interface very 120 minutes (2 hrs).
