I have a cron job that is set to run at midnight. I would like to know if this is midnight from the server timezone or is it as soon as i create the cron job i have to wait 24h until it's being executed?
You don't have to wait 24 hours. The cron in launched in the scheduled hour based on server's time.

so I have a job that should run every minute. But one of the rules in my hosting provider is "Cron job should run at least once every 15 minutes". My question is does my task scheduler still running within the next 15 minutes? if no, any ideas to make it runs every minute? thanks
I have a scheduled cron job that runs laravel's task scheduler in a laravel forge production server. This cron job is ran every minute to ensure that any jobs that have been scheduled in the scheduler is ran. The task scheduler has multiple jobs that all execute at different times.
Essentially what I want is a way to monitor the cron job in production so that if it fails or isn't running I'm notified via an alert e.g. slack, sms. Without any alert I wouldn't be able to know if the cron job isn't running without manually checking. What's the best way of achieving this? Thanks.
If I get you right, you may take advantage of Pinging URLs to ping a specific url after your cron job is run. Something like following:
$schedule->command('emails:send')
->daily()
->thenPing($url);
Now you can either build your endpoint ($url) to make sure that it has been hit daily or use any of many free/paid cron monitoring services.
I need to schedule the JDBC consumer job to run everyday morning at 5 am, as far as I know, I can make the job run at 5 am when I start the job at 5 am and put 24 hours in the query interval.
But I need to schedule the first instance to start at 5 am without starting it manually (i'm lazy to wake up at 5 am :P) Is there a way to achieve this?
(Copying my answer from Ask StreamSets)
There is no built-in scheduler in SDC, but you could use cron and the StreamSets CLI to start the pipeline.
for some reason my cron job which is scheduled at 8 am has been running late. Yesterday it ran at 8:01:14 am and today at 8:02:29 am. The job runs inside a container and is the only cron entry in the crontab. I read somewhere that if you have > 100 jobs cron will reschedule your job to run 60 seconds later. But, since I am in a container on a server which has 2 container with 1 job per container I cant see how i would have over 100 jobs in the first place.
The job doesn't have any dependencies. Is there a way to see why this is happening? ever since I set this up 2 months ago it has been firing at 8:00 am sharp, has only acted up last 2 days.
The task is just a basic shell(.sh) script
The time on server and container are both in sync (tested using date command). No changes have been made this week at all.
What is interesting is that the other process in the other container which is basically a duplicate of the first one ran on time.
On Heroku server, there are options for cron job to be run hourly or daily basis.
Cakephp project has been deployed on Heroku Server.
I need to run cron job on 1st of every month.
Any solution or suggestion to handle this?
