Manage Timer Jobs
SharePoint 2010 uses the SharePoint 2010 Timer service (owstimer.exe) to execute all scheduled operations on all servers in the farm. Timer jobs are automatically created when SharePoint services are installed and configured. Developers can create custom timer jobs for specialized purposes.
Viewing Timer Jobs
To view existing timer jobs, perform the following steps:
1. From SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, click Monitoring.
2. In the Timer Jobs section, click Review Job Definitions.
On the Job Definitions page, shown partially in Figure 15.17, you can view the alphabetical list of timer jobs and the web application they are associated with, along with the interval of scheduling.
