Is there a job scheduler library for node.js? [closed]

Answer 1

You can use timexe

It's simple to use, light weight, has no dependencies, has an improved syntax over cron, with a resolution in milliseconds and works in the browser.

Install:

npm install timexe

Use:

var timexe = require('timexe');
var res = timexe("* * * 15 30", function(){ console.log("It's now 3:30 pm"); });

Answer 3

I am the auhor of node-runnr . It have a very simple approach to create job. Also its very easy and clear to declare time and interval. For example, to execute a job at every 10min 20sec,

Runnr.addIntervalJob('10:20', function(){...}, 'myjob')

To do a job at 10am and 3pm daily,

Runnr.addDailyJob(['10:0:0', '15:0:0'], function(){...}, 'myjob')

Its that simple. For further detail: https://github.com/Saquib764/node-runnr

Answer 5

This won't be suitable for everyone, but if your application is already setup to take commands via a socket, you can use netcat to issue a commands via cron proper.

echo 'mycommand' | nc -U /tmp/myapp.sock
