Scheduled commands

Scheduled commands are configured as cronjobs to carry out house keeping and maintenance tasks on the system by default.

The following scheduled paster commands are installed and enabled by default.

uwsgi cron

On systems of Standalone System and Web and Mail System profiles, uwsgi cron is used to run the scheduled commands instead of the system cron.

The cronjobs on systems of these profiles are automatically added to the uwsgi configuration /etc/uwsgi/baruwa.ini which is a symlink to /etc/baruwa/production.ini.

/etc/cron.d/baruwa

On systems that are not of Standalone System and Web and Mail System profiles, system cron is used and the commands are added to /etc/cron.d/baruwa.
