cron

Run shell commands and VS Code commands on a schedule.

Forked from zokugun.cron-tasks, and with all due credit to @zokugun for creating the original extension.

cron expands on the original extension by adding support for shell commands.

Features

Configure cron.tasks in your settings.json to run shell commands and VS Code commands on a schedule.

{
  "cron.tasks": [
    {
      "type": "shell",
      "schedule": "*/5 * * * *", // Every 5 minutes
      "command": "echo 'Hello, world!'",
      "conditions": {
        "exclusive": true,
        "remoteName": "^wsl(-.*)?$",
        "shell": "bash",
      }
    }
  ]
}

Example

Using winsomnia to keep a remote machine awake:

{
  "cron.tasks": [
    {
      "schedule": "*/2.5 * * * *", // Every 5 minutes
      "command": "winsomnia 5",
      "conditions": {
        "exclusive": false, // Run in every remote
      }
    }
  ]
}
