crcsi/cron-scheduler repository overview

⁠Cron Scheduler

Schedules cron jobs to be run on schedule. Adopted from https://getcarina.com/docs/tutorials/schedule-tasks-cron/⁠. This is a base container with no tasks scheduled tasks defined. scripts to be run on schedule should be placed within tasks folder in a folder according to schedules supported. A script which should be run in an hourly schedule should be placed in directory ./tasks/hourly relative to dockerfile

⁠Schedules Supported

• 15min
• hourly
• daily
• weekly
• monthly

⁠Scripts

The script to be executed in a schedule should be placed within appropriate directory. The scripts should not have any extension like .sh and should have shebang #!/bin/sh

Since cron jobs don't have access to environment variables, docker-env.sh is created when container starts and should be called in the script if environment variables are required for script execution. Currently only WEB_ENV* environment variables are available after docker-env.sh is executed. If an environment variable is required make sure it is available in web service or set an environment variable which starts with WEB_ENV
