Cron, what is it good for? • birthday reminders •
status updates for a website • doxygen output for manuals every 12 hours • email nags about bugs filed wrong • ETL • Postgres -> Cloudwatch • Batch processing • Backups of RO DB • Machine heartbeat • “sweet fuck all” • “auto” updates • logging laptop IP • check for abandoned twitter accounts
Running jobs on a predictable schedule
How Socorro uses cron • Time-dependent reports or maintenance •
“Simple” event detection and triggers • Status logging
Our use cases • Stored procedures for materialized views in
Postgres • Daily map-reduces (largely deprecated) • FTP Scraping into Postgres • Bulk email responses to crash submissions pulled from Elastic Search
Jobs that don’t lend themselves to queue management because of
time-dependencies, fragility or complexity.
