Hello,

I’m looking for a cron like scheduler written in Julia  
(something comparable to [APScheduler](https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or [sched](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sched.html) or [schedule](https://schedule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for Python)  
I haven’t found it in the Julia ecosystem… but maybe someone here know a package like this.  
Any help is welcome

Kind regards

There was a similar question on stackeoverflow, does the answer there work for you?

Thanks @ggggggggg but I was looking for a higher level approach of the problem of scheduling events.  
Being able to parse cron syntax could be a nice feature on top of that

I wrote this Julia implementation of [Python sched](https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/sched.html#sched.scheduler)

[https://github.com/scls19fr/Sched.jl](https://github.com/scls19fr/Sched.jl)

We could probably tackle implementing more advanced scheduler (such as APSScheduler, schedule) using Julia  
See [https://github.com/scls19fr/Sched.jl/issues/5](https://github.com/scls19fr/Sched.jl/issues/5)

A more advanced and extensible implementation of a scheduler is now available at  
[https://github.com/scls19fr/ExtensibleScheduler.jl](https://github.com/scls19fr/ExtensibleScheduler.jl)

Latest doc can [be found here](https://scls19fr.github.io/ExtensibleScheduler.jl/latest/).

Hi,  
A crontab-like syntax scheduler is supported in [GitHub - cihga39871/JobSchedulers.jl: A Julia-based job scheduler and workload manager inspired by Slurm, PBS and Crontab.](https://github.com/cihga39871/JobSchedulers.jl) from v0.8

It also supports CPU/memory management, job dependency like Slurm and PBS.

Hi, I recently noticed [GitHub - bhftbootcamp/Crontab.jl: Cron-style scheduling with \* \* \* \* \* syntax for Julia](https://github.com/bhftbootcamp/Crontab.jl)
