Claim 6:
7. An automated process scheduling method, comprising:
identifying automated process instructions for a network device, wherein:
the automated process instructions comprise instructions for performing a series of actions on the network device, wherein the instructions comprise:
machine-executable code partitioned into a plurality of code segments using breakpoints, wherein each breakpoint temporarily pauses execution of the machine-executable code between a pair of code segments and causes any data associated with machine-executable code to be temporarily stored in a memory;

receiving a screen capture recording of one or more system updates being performed on the network device;
determining an execution time associated with the one or more system updates based on the screen capture recording;
determining the time interval for the first system update based at least in part on the execution time associated with the one or more system updates;
identifying a first time instance for executing the automated process instructions that does not occur within a time interval associated with a first system update for the network device;
executing the machine-executable code at the first time instance to perform the series of actions on the network device;
detecting a second system update for the network device while executing the machine-executable code, wherein the second system update is configured to modify one or more settings on the network device;
pausing the execution of the machine-executable code at a breakpoint at a second time instance after detecting the second system update;
retrieving the associated data stored in the memory; and
resuming execution of the machine-executable code using the retrieved associated data after the breakpoint at a third time instance after the second system update is complete.
