CronJobs
A cron job is a Linux command used to schedule tasks for future execution. It allows you to automate repetitive tasks, such as sending notifications or running scripts at specific intervals.
On the CronJobs page you can view currently scheduled tasks, create new, edit or delete them.
The TimeZone setting is handy for running scheduled cronjobs in your local timezone.
Add a CronJob
To create a new cronjob click on the 'Create CronJob' button and in the new form set the script to be executed, choose a container to execute the script and the desired schedule.
The first field allows you to choose the container which is going to be running the script.
The second field allows you to set a predefined (common) schedule:
- Once per minute
- Once per 5 minutes
- Twice per hour
- Once per hour
- Twice per day
- Once per day
- Once per week
- Twice per month (every 1st and 15th of the month)
- Once per month
- Once per year
Edit a CronJob
To edit an existing cronjob, click on the 'Edit' button next to it. This action will allow you to edit that specific cron job.
To modify the schedule for when the script is executed you can use a tool such as https://crontab.guru/.
When you're done click on the 'Save' button to update the crontab file with your changes.
Delete a CronJob
To delete a cronjob, click on the 'Delete' button next to it. This action will open a modal asking you to confirm the deletion.
