Overview

WolfStack cron job management

WolfStack’s Cron Manager lets you view, create, edit, and delete cron jobs on any node in your cluster from the web dashboard. No more SSH-ing into individual servers to manage scheduled tasks.

Features

  • View all cron jobs for any user on any node
  • Create new cron jobs with a visual schedule builder
  • Edit existing cron entries in-place
  • Delete cron jobs from the dashboard
  • View cron job output and history

No cron daemon on your distro? New

Arch and Alpine ship zero cron by default — you pick one. Before v18.1, that meant cron-based features silently failed with a confusing "command not found". Now:

  • System Check has a dedicated Scheduling category that flags the missing binary or stopped service with a red row.
  • A 📦 Install button next to the row installs the right package for your distro (cron on Debian, cronie on Arch/Fedora, cron on SUSE), enables the service, and starts it — all from the dashboard. One click.
  • The Cron page itself then starts working: jobs listed, jobs editable, cron fires them on schedule.

Prefer systemd timers? They're also fine — WolfStack's scheduled features don't require cron specifically, they just need a timer daemon. System Check flags the absence; the fix is your call.
