-Now you can re-start the schedule. Just use the schedule name without any line number suffix. e.g. <​code>​schedule=a1308hb</​code>​ This will start the next scan that occurs at least 5 min in the future. Check that the antenna goes to the next source in the schedule that satisfies this criterion. ​+Now you can re-start the schedule.
