PM2 Weekly Task Scheduler

This project consists of a Node.js script that performs HTTP requests to configurable URLs with dynamically generated random text. It's designed to run once a week, using PM2 for process management and scheduling.

Features

• Dynamic Text Generation: Generates a random string (20-30 characters) for each execution.
• Environment Variable Configuration: URLs and the number of executions are configurable via .env file.
• Scheduled Execution: Utilizes PM2's cron feature to run the script once a week.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm or yarn
• PM2 (npm install pm2 -g)

Setup

• Install Dependencies npm install

• Configure Environment Variables: Create a .env file in the project root with the following content, adjusting values as necessary:

SCHEDULE_URL_1=http://example.com/path?q=[TEXT]
SCHEDULE_URL_2=http://anotherexample.com/path?query=[TEXT]
SCHEDULE_COUNT=3

• PM2 Configuration: Ensure ecosystem.config.js is set up for your project (see example provided in the project documentation).
• Start the scheduled task with PM2: pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
• Save PM2 process list (to restart tasks after reboot): pm2 save
