This package provides buildout recipes for the configuration of cron jobs. It creates files that are suitable for use in /etc/cron.d.
We use the system cron, so this recipe will not install cron for you. If you wish to install cron, use zc.recipe.cmmi perhaps.
- command
- The command to run from cron. Cron can't handle multi-line commands, so n will become ' '.
- script
- Instead of command you can provide a script inline that will be saved to disk and run in the cronjob.
- user
- The account to run the command under
- location
- Where to write the cron entry to
- at
- One of 'reboot', 'yearly', 'monthly', 'weekly', 'daily', 'midnight' or 'hourly'
- minute
- Any integer from 0 to 59
- hour
- Any integer from 0 to 23
- day
- Any integer from 1 to 31 (must be a valid day if a month is specified)
- month
- Any integer from 1 to 12, or the short name of the month such as 'jan'
- day-of-week
- Any integer from 0 to 7 (where 0 and 7 are Sunday), or a short name such as 'mon'
You must specify at least one of the above. You can use normal cron notation here too.
- environment-vars
- Prepare the environment that your cron job will run under, for example setting PYTHONPATH
- comments
- Any comments made will be prefixed with '#' and included in the generated files.
This software is available from our recipe repository on github.
