Install the master jobby cron job, and it will manage all your offline tasks. Add jobs without modifying crontab. Jobby can handle logging, locking, error emails and more.

**NEW REPO:** We have moved `jobby` to a Github org. Please update your remotes to `https://github.com/jobbyphp/jobby.git`.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Maintain one master crontab job.
- Jobs run via PHP, so you can run them under any programmatic conditions.
- Use ordinary crontab schedule syntax (powered by the excellent [`cron-expression`](https://github.com/mtdowling/cron-expression)).
- Run only one copy of a job at a given time.
- Send email whenever a job exits with an error status.
- Run job as another user, if crontab user has `sudo` privileges.
- Run only on certain hostnames (handy in webfarms).
- Theoretical Windows support (but not ever tested)

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Installation

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Jobby is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require hellogerard/jobby

```

Then add the following line to your (or whomever's) crontab:

```
* * * * * cd /path/to/project && php jobby.php 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

```

After Jobby installs, you can copy an example file to the project root.

```
$ cp vendor/hellogerard/jobby/resources/jobby.php .

```
