Managing cron jobs across multiple servers
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
We are facing a problem with managing cron jobs over multiple servers with dependencies.
I hope there is an opensource central management project that I can be used to handle that and report the status of each job.
I found a project called chronos that runs on a top of mesos, but is there any alternative?

Please see THIS PAGE for an extensive list of job schedulers, open source or otherwise. Also there was a discussion about an open source job scheduler on Linux magazine a while back. You can find it here

You can use ansible's cron module.
Here is examples for some cron jobs:
# Ensure a job that runs at 2 and 5 exists.
# Creates an entry like "0 5,2 * * ls -alh > /dev/null"
- cron:
name: "check dirs"
minute: "0"
hour: "5,2"
job: "ls -alh > /dev/null"
# Ensure an old job is no longer present. Removes any job that is prefixed
# by "#Ansible: an old job" from the crontab
- cron:
name: "an old job"
state: absent
# Creates an entry like "@reboot /some/job.sh"
- cron:
name: "a job for reboot"
special_time: reboot
job: "/some/job.sh"
