Cron Jobs

Customer_cron-jobs.png

The Cron Jobs section in AdminBolt allows users to manage scheduled tasks that execute commands at specific intervals. This is especially useful for automating scripts, updates, or repetitive server-side operations.

Overview

The interface displays a list of currently configured cron jobs. If no jobs exist, a message saying "No Cron Jobs" is shown in the center.

Navigation path:
Security > Cron Jobs > List

Create Cron Job

Click the orange Create Cron Job button at the top-right corner to add a new task. This opens a form where you can:

  • Specify the execution frequency (e.g. every minute, hourly, daily).
  • Define the command/script to run.
  • Set environment variables (if needed).
  • Assign notification preferences (e.g. email on failure).

Search Feature

A search bar is available to filter cron jobs by keyword. This helps when managing large numbers of tasks.

No Cron Jobs

When no jobs are defined, the interface will show a centered message:

No Cron Jobs

This is a visual indicator that the cron table is currently empty.

Notes

  • Cron jobs created here are user-level and isolated per account.
  • The system uses standard crontab syntax behind the scenes.
  • Misconfigured or failing jobs will be logged and potentially reported via email depending on your setup.

Coming Soon

In future versions, you may expect:

  • Cron job history and logs
  • One-click templates for popular commands
  • Shared cron presets for administrators
