# `nomad alloc pause` command reference
Override the schedule for tasks using time based execution.
<EnterpriseAlert />
~> **Note:** Time based task execution is an experimental feature and subject
to change. This feature is supported for select customers. Please refer to the
[Upgrade Guide][upgrade] to find breaking changes.
## Usage
```plaintext
nomad alloc pause [options] <allocation> <command>
```
The `alloc pause` command allows a user to override the schedule for tasks
that use time based execution. A user may override a task's
[`schedule`][schedule] and force it to run or stop. The `schedule` will be
ignored until a user resets the override.
When ACLs are enabled, this command requires the `job-submit` capability for
the allocation's namespace.
## Options
- `-state`: Override the current scheduled task state to be the specified state
or reset to the scheduled state. Must be one of `pause`, `run`, or
`scheduled`. When set to `pause` the task is halted. When set to `run` the
task is started. When set to `scheduled` the task respects its
[`schedule`][schedule].
- `-status`: Get the current time based task execution state.
- `-task`: Override the schedule of the specified task. May also be specified
as a positional argument.
- `-verbose`: Show full information.
## Examples
The following command stops the `schedtask` task of the allocation `4d37a9d1`
overriding the task's [`schedule`][schedule] block:
```shell-session
$ nomad alloc pause -state=pause 4d37a9d1 schedtask
```
The following command runs the task overriding the tasks current state or
schedule:
```shell-session
$ nomad alloc pause -state=pause 4d37a9d1 schedtask
```
The following command returns the task to its [`schedule`][schedule]:
```shell-session
$ nomad alloc pause -state=scheduled 4d37a9d1 schedtask
```
