Hi Aaron

Can I use the --schedule option with the mesh config? If so, how?

For e.g. can I do something like this?
<test_spec bwctl_test>
  type              perfsonarbuoy/bwctl  # Perform a bwctl test (i.e.
achievable bandwidth)
  tool              bwctl/iperf          # Use 'iperf' to do the
bandwidh test
  protocol          tcp                  # Run a TCP bandwidth test
  #interval          14400                # Run the test every 4 hours
  schedule         12:00,00:00     # Replacing interval...
  duration          20                   # Perform a 20 second test
</test_spec>

Thanks!

Roderick
