dkron

Man, how I wish Kala and Dcron would just work together. https://github.com/ajvb/kala https://github.com/victorcoder/dcron Fusing both would be AWESOME (I'd even like to help). What Dcron gets right: - Distributed by design - Raft for the reliable parts, gossip for lightweight sync, a match made in heaven - Linux mentality - Dashboard included - Good docs, nice website, looks serious What Kala gets right: - Built much more directly after Chronos, which has an amazing and battle tested API - Using ISO durations instead of NIHing their own format - Dependent jobs

I was looking into that too. Based on this job.json[0] definition from the git repo, it looks like it just executes the command. So I believe you could have the job written in any language. But I think this also means you have to copy every job executable to every server that might have a chance of running the job. [0] https://github.com/victorcoder/dcron/blob/master/job.json

Looks like it's defined using the format you see in this json file: https://github.com/victorcoder/dcron/blob/master/job.json The "command" field is the most important part. What you put there gets executed like this by their agent (on Linux): /bin/sh -c <your_scheduled_command_name>
