skpr-crond

A lightweight crond for local development environments. Also leveraged the Skpr Preview environments.

What problem are we solving?

The standard Linux cron daemon is had to run in containers as it was built to run as root and then handle subprocesses as a specific user.

Ultimately this is alot to maintain when all developers want is a local developer approach for routinely executing a command to simulate cron tasks running in production.

Usage

Command

$ skpr-crond --config=path/to/config/file.yaml

Configuration

example:
  schedule: "* * * * *"
  command: echo 1
