Cron Scheduler
Cron Scheduler
Section titled “Cron Scheduler”Run an agent on a schedule. “Every weekday at 9am, summarise yesterday’s commits and post to #standups.” “Every hour, scan the issue tracker for new bugs and triage them.” Cron makes those happen without you sitting at the keyboard.
Built on croner. Jobs persist in ~/.ptah/ptah.db, survive Ptah restarts, and resume cleanly via the catchup coordinator after sleep/wake events.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- 5- or 6-field cron expressions, validated by croner before save
- IANA timezone support (also validated)
- Per-job concurrency tracking and a global concurrency cap
- A run history per job — succeeded / failed / skipped, with start/end times and result summaries
- Power-monitor integration: missed slots can be replayed, ignored, or coalesced
Quick links
Section titled “Quick links”- Creating a job — fields, validation, and the panel
- Cron expressions — quick reference
- Catchup & power — what happens after sleep
- Run history — auditing past runs

Disabled by default? No.
Section titled “Disabled by default? No.”Cron is enabled by default at the global level (cron.enabled = true), but you have zero jobs until you create one. Nothing fires unprompted.
