executions on minions or the master. The schedule system exposes the execution
of any execution function on minions or any runner on the master.
Scheduling is enabled via the ``schedule`` option on either the master or minion
config files, or via a minion's pillar data. Schedules that are impletemented via
pillar data, only need to refresh the minion's pillar data, for example by using
``saltutil.refresh_pillar``. Schedules implemented in the master or minion config
have to restart the application in order for the schedule to be implemented.
Scheduling can be enabled by multiple methods:
- ``schedule`` option in either the master or minion config files. These
require the master or minion application to be restarted in order for the
schedule to be implemented.
- Minion pillar data. Schedule is implemented by refreshing the minion's pillar data,
for example by using ``saltutil.refresh_pillar``.
- The :doc:`schedule state</ref/states/all/salt.states.schedule>` or :doc:`schedule module</ref/modules/all/salt.modules.schedule>`
