Control workflows from a central location with
dashboards

BeyondCron supports scheduling functionality that goes above and beyond what is available using cron.

At its simplest, BeyondCron is a client-server implementation of the cron daemon, in which all jobs are defined centrally rather than individually on each server. Crontabs can be directly imported into BeyondCron, enabling quick import of existing cron environments into BeyondCron.

BeyondCron offers an excellent UI through a dashboard that displays the states of currently active and past tasks, shows diagnostic information about task execution, and allows the user to manually manage the execution and state of tasks.

Powerful dashboard

Key features

With a standard cron environment, jobs need to be configured and controlled independently for every server and every user. Whereas BeyondCron maintains and controls jobs within an environment centrally.

The dashboard within BeyondCron allows jobs (and calendars) to be created, controlled and visualised from a single location. Not only does it support drag-and-drop for quickly creating job flows, but it updates in realtime as jobs execute.

Jobs

Calendars

Calendars can be associated with jobs such that they do, or do not execute on holidays. Calendars can be defined in Outlook/Mac Mail and imported into BeyondCron via subscription, or a file.

Speed

Reduced execution times

Because jobs within a flow can run one after another, rather than being scheduled individually, with sufficient time between them, overall run times can be reduced.

Flexible

Job types

As well as executing operating system commands, jobs can also execute SQL, schedule containers, call webhooks, send emails, or simply trigger other jobs with an optional delay.

In the enterprise

Moving beyond cron, BeyondCron offers functionality which until now has only been available on enterprise class schedulers…along with enterprise levels of complexity and pricing.

Low maintenance

Agentless

By default BeyondCron executes jobs over SSH, eliminating the need to install and maintain agents.

Kubernetes

Containers

BeyondCron supports container scheduling within Kubernetes clusters.
