Cronboard is a terminal application that allows you to manage and schedule cronjobs on local and remote servers. With Cronboard, you can easily add, edit, and delete cronjobs, as well as view their status.

 

✔️ Check cron jobs
✔️ Create cron jobs with validation and human-readable feedback
✔️ Pause and resume cron jobs
✔️ Edit existing cron jobs
✔️ Delete cron jobs
✔️ View formatted last and next run times
✔️ Accepts special expressions like @daily, @yearly, @monthly, etc.
✔️ Connect to servers using SSH, using password or SSH keys
✔️ Choose another user to manage cron jobs if you have the permissions to do so (sudo)

The following tools were used in this project:

• Textual
• Python crontab
• Paramiko
• Cron descriptor

Before starting 🏁, be sure you have cron installed on your machine.

crontab -l

git clone https://github.com/antoniorodr/cronboard

cd cronboard

pip install .

brew tap antoniorodr/cronboard
brew install antoniorodr/cronboard/cronboard

uv tool install git+https://github.com/antoniorodr/cronboard

yay -S cronboard

One installed, you can run the application using the following command:

cronboard

That's it! You can now start using Cronboard to manage your cron jobs.

Cronboard is equiped (thanks to Textual) with a footer that shows you the available commands.

When connecting to a remove server with a SSH key, Cronboard will look for the known_hosts file in the default location (~/.ssh/known_hosts).

If you choose to manage cron jobs for another user, make sure you have the necessary permissions to do so. This means you will not able to do it if you are not a sudoer.
