CronKeep is a web-based crontab management tool which enables teams to have visibility over what cron jobs are scheduled, run jobs on demand, add new cron jobs in a human-friendly way, or pause a cron schedule from going off, without the need for sysadmin-level access.
- Run cron jobs on demand
- Add new jobs in a simple way
- Pause a cron job schedule
- Change or delete existing jobs
- Minimal setup required (no database dependency)
See the app in action at demo.cronkeep.com. Running cron jobs is disabled in the demo app.
CronKeep fits nicely into your LAMP stack. Apache and PHP 5.3.23 or newer are required.
The current CronKeep version interacts only with the crontab of the user Apache is running as. This means it will only have access to the jobs added for user www-data, apache or nobody, depending on your system.
Application is still in the development phase. An official alpha release will follow soon.
In the meantime, you may install it, provided you have git and Composer already installed on your server.
