hubot-cron-json

Manage hubot cron job defined by json configuration file

Configuration

All you need to do is just creating ./conf/cron-tasks.json:

[
    {
        "time" : "0 30 9 * * 1-5 ",
        "msg" : "Good morning ! Let's start morning meeting !"
    },
    {
        "time": "0 45 17 * * 5 ",
        "event": "sample:task"
    }
]

hubot-cron-json automatically read configuration file and execute job when it's time to do. time syntax follows ordinal cron syntax, See http://crontab.org/.

You can define 2 types of task:

• mgs - Just say it to your room.
• event - Emit event and another hubot task get it and execute somethig.

And you can check all cron jobs:

hubot cron list

These are cool scripts which also manages cron jobs. But for storing jobs, they depend robot.brain (Redis). hubot-cron-json manage cron job by json configuraiton file. It's very easy to share same cron jobs to another team's hubot and to run anywhere without job setting. And hubot-cron-json can manage not only saying something to room but emitting event to invorke another hubot tasks.
