The Snapt framework comes with an advanced cron handler, meaning on installation all you need to do is add that the cronjob handler will run every minute in cron and we’ll decide when to run our reporting, logging, and other tasks automatically.
To do that, we had to write a more sophisticated cron – with abilities like “once off” or temporary tasks, that after running successfully are removed. We’ve also introduced load limits and retries – so a task can be set to only run when the unit is not heavily loaded.
Having done all of that, we thought why not give the user that ability; for free. And so was born a new, free plugin named “Snapt Cron”. Below is a screenshot of adding an example cron entry where it will reboot at night, and remove the cron task.
Snapt Cron is available with any Snapt Framework installation (e.g. Snapt HAProxy, Snapt Squid). If you would like to be notified when the product is available officially, please use our release notification list.
