Web Cronjobs

Web Cronjobs centralizes your cron job management into one intuitive platform. Its flexible scheduler supports custom execution intervals and seamless job pausing and resuming, backed by a robust feature set.

FAQ

Q: Why should I use this script instead of a native cron job?

A: This tool can handle the syntax of “last weekday of month”. For example, you need to send a promotion campaign only on the last Friday of each month (or in a specific month). In addition, you can specify the maximum number of iterations and/or a stop/pause/resume date. Also, sometimes you need to run the script only once. i.e. at 2028-12-31 15:00. There is no way to achieve these tasks using native Linux cron job implementation without additional bash programming, while this script can easily handle these tasks.

Q: Why should I use this script instead of other online services?

A: Lower cost. You pay once and run an unlimited number of cron jobs, while other online services require a monthly subscription. In addition, this script supports bash command execution, which online services can’t do.

Requirements

Minimal server requirements

• OS: Windows/Linux
• PHP up to 8.4 (You can download and run requirements.php (SHA1 41b824c2d9d80de1b7625b51a2b6de42bd0d0272) to check PHP compatibility)
• Database: MySQL/MariaDB
• Web server: Apache 2.4/Nginx/LiteSpeed
• Cron/Task Scheduler support
• At a minimum, the following TCP outgoing ports shouldn’t be blocked: 80, 443, 587/465.
  If a cron task URL uses a non-standard HTTP port (such as 8888), that port must remain unblocked; otherwise, the system will not be able to reach the URL. The same applies to binary executables, which may call a remote URL.
• SMTP account for sending emails
