> #### Job Execution Policy over time

> Under typical conditions a job's Start Date and Time will reflect a point in the past. If the AdminServer and Fathom are shut down and restarted, Fathom determines the next execution date of any enabled jobs from the original Start Date and the time the AdminServer restarted (which would be the present time). Fathom then uses the Repeat Interval and the original Start Time to calculate the job's next occurrence.

> ##### Job execution with a restarted AdminServer

> Original Job's Start Date and Start Time: July 21, 2004, at 10:00 AM.

> Original Job's Repeat Interval: Every 60 Minutes as determined from the original Start Time indicated as 10:00 AM.

> Date of AdminServer shutdown and restart: July 28, 2004.

> Time of AdminServer restart: 8:25 PM.

> The next scheduled execution of this job begins at 9:00 PM on July 28, 2004.

> If the job in the above example had a Repeat Interval of Every 15 Minutes, it would next execute at 8:30 PM on July 28, 2004.
