About

Manage the server's cron jobs and the internal scheduler tick that drives every installed app's own scheduled work, from a desktop window instead of a shell.

What it does

  • View, add, edit, delete, enable and disable cron jobs for your own account or, with sudo confirmation, another system user.
  • Shortcut schedules (@reboot, @hourly, @daily, @weekly, @monthly, @yearly) or the five custom fields.
  • Run any job immediately and see its output and exit code without waiting for its schedule.
  • Read-only view of system jobs from /etc/cron.d/, including which installed apps registered a scheduler and whether their backend file still exists.
  • Enable or disable the installation's own scheduler tick, which every app's scheduled work depends on.
