crontab-ui VS vixie-cron

I use crontab-ui

have you considered crontab-ui?

With that said, if you really want cron jobs you might want to take a look at Zeit (desktop) or at Crontab UI https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui (web ui).

Check out crontab-UI. Haven't tried it myself as regular crontab works fine for my use case, but I've seen this mentioned a few times in this sub

Thought I'd post here before taking a dive into this and see if anyone has any practical experience. I'm looking for centralising scheduled tasks for multiple servers, preferably with a management GUI for friendliness. I found Crontab-UI which seems to only interact with the single host's crontab. Then I stumbled upon Cronicle which looks feature rich but looks like multi-server is handled by deploying the GUI to each host. A central server + agents on each host would be nicer. I'm wondering if anyone uses Cronicle, or another solution? Thanks!

In the world of cron tools I particularly like https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui for a simple GUI to manage my crons - would be interested to hear if there are other handy packages in the space to check out

Hey Justin, thanks for taking the time to fuzz the UI a bit. There is definitely improvements we could make.

I will point out, we are applying the same validations here that vixie cron does when you save a job. If you use "crontab -e" it will let you add a job with the schedule 5 4 31 9 *, and it flags the others you mentioned as invalid. For the most part, crontab.guru tries to be true to vixie cron.

Also, good news on the daylight savings front. As you can imagine with a service like Cronitor we had to learn a lot about this. In most modern versions of Cron, jobs scheduled with a specific time will not be replayed when the clock moves for DST. You can see the logic here:
