Introducing: Cron jobs in recurrent pipelines
As you probably know, pipelines in Buddy can be run in three ways:
- Automatically on push
- Manually on click
- Recurrently on time interval
The last method can prove very powerful when properly put practice. For example, you can use it to monitor your servers or backup WordPress sites. However, the recurrent mode lacked advanced config settings, such as running the pipeline only on working days. We have addressed that by adding cron jobs to the pipeline settings.

How cron jobs work
Cron jobs can be activated by putting the pipeline in recurrent mode and switching it from 'Simple' to 'Advanced'. Buddy supports UNIX syntax for cron setup:
5 4 * * *– at fixed time of day0 0 1 * *– on the first day of a month0 9 * * 1– on Mondays at 9 AM0 5 * * 1-5– Monday to Friday at 5 PM*/20 8-16 * * 1-5– Every 20 min between 8 AM and 4 PM, Monday to Friday
