Corntab: Open-Source Cron Scheduler

Lightweight and easy-to-use cron scheduler for Linux and Unix-like systems, allowing users to schedule jobs or scripts at specific times and dates.

What is Corntab?

Corntab is an open-source job scheduler and alternative to the standard cron daemon found on Linux and Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to schedule commands, scripts, or jobs to run periodically at specific times and dates on a system.

Some key features of corntab include:

• Lightweight and fast implementation written in Golang
• Simple configuration using a corntab file with syntax similar to crontab
• Automatic parallelization of jobs across CPU cores
• Error logging and email notifications
• Cron expressions for flexibility in job scheduling

Corntab provides improvements over the standard cron implementation such as parallelized job execution for faster processing and better utilization of modern multi-core systems. The configuration syntax is nearly identical to crontab making migration easy.

Corntab is a reliable, performance-focused cron alternative suitable for use in production environments requiring efficient and robust job scheduling capabilities.
