Salt highstate schedule only runs once

[Tong Pham]

Hello!

I am trying out Salt schedule, and I have tried adding the following to my minion state file:

highstate_run:

  schedule.present:

    - function: state.apply

    - splay: 5

    - seconds: 60

At first, the scheduled task shows up:

$ sudo salt-call schedule.list show_all=True

local:

    schedule:

      highstate_run:

        enabled: true

        function: state.apply

        jid_include: true

        maxrunning: 1

        name: highstate_run

        seconds: 60

        splay: 5

But after one execution of the state.apply command (as seen under /var/log/salt/minion), the scheduled task disappeared and would not run again.

This confuses me, because the documentation (https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.schedule.html) says that the above should run every 60 seconds with 5 seconds spread.

If there is another way to apply create 

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks! :")
