​

What it does
CHRON allows you to schedule repeating tasks, that support both shell (command-line) and in-game commands.

Why not use UNIX jobs?
Because you might be trapped behind a server panel, or you want easy access to game commands.

How do I use it?
Everything is in the configuration file. With /chron, you can run jobs and check the status of jobs.

Usage: /chron [job]

Permissions:

• chron.runjobs : access to the /chron command
• chron.runall : run all jobs
• chron.job.<jobname> : run specific job

Code (Text):

jobs:
  backup:
    interval:
      start: 1445796463610 # The epoch time of the start date. Need help? Use http://currentmillis.com/
      every: 600 # The interval to repeat, in seconds.
    commands:
      - g:say Server backup starting!                                         # g: means that it's a game command.
      - g:zip . ./backups/{epoch}-backup.zip                                  # the 'zip' command is a feature of wget, a premium spigot plugin
      - g:say Server backup completed!                                        # everything after the colon is the command to execute
      - s:mv ~/ServerDirectory/backup/{epoch}-backup.zip ~/GoogleDriveFolder/backups/{epoch}-backup.zip # s: means it's a shell command
      # Remember, these will run in sequence!
# Dont want it to repeat? Set 'every' to a negative number.

# Variables: {epoch} (milliseconds since Jan. 1 1970 UTC)
