# Scheduler<\/p>\n
A **minecraft plugin** that runs console commands on cron schedules.<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nschedules:<\/p>\n
my-schedule:
\n cron: “*\/10 * * * *” # every 10 minutes
\n parallel: false # run commands one after another
\n commands:
\n – “save-all flush”
\n – “broadcast Server saved!”<\/p>\n
another-schedule:
\n enabled: false # set to true to activate
\n cron: “0 2 * * *” # every day at 02:00
\n parallel: true # run all commands at the same time
\n commands:
\n – “broadcast Nightly task running”
\n – “say Hello from cron”
\n“`<\/p>\n
### Schedule fields<\/p>\n
| Field | Required | Description |
\n|————|———-|—————————————————————————-|
\n| `cron` | \u2705 | Standard 5-field cron expression |
\n| `commands` | \u2705 | List of console commands to run (no leading `\/`) |
\n| `parallel` | \u274c | `true` = all commands fire at once, `false` (default) = sequential |
\n| `enabled` | \u274c | Set to `false` to disable a schedule without deleting it (default: `true`) |<\/p>\n
### Cron syntax<\/p>\n
Five space-separated fields: `minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week`<\/p>\n
| Field | Range | Special characters |
\n|————–|——————|——————–|
\n| Minute | 0\u201359 | `*` `,` `-` `\/` |
\n| Hour | 0\u201323 | `*` `,` `-` `\/` |
\n| Day of month | 1\u201331 | `*` `,` `-` `\/` |
\n| Month | 1\u201312 | `*` `,` `-` `\/` |
\n| Day of week | 0\u20136 (0 = Sunday) | `*` `,` `-` `\/` |<\/p>\n
**Examples**<\/p>\n
| Expression | Meaning |
\n|——————|—————————————-|
\n| `* * * * *` | Every minute |
\n| `*\/5 * * * *` | Every 5 minutes |
\n| `0 * * * *` | Every hour (at :00) |
\n| `0 2 * * *` | Every day at 02:00 |
\n| `0 0 * * 0` | Every Sunday at midnight |
\n| `0 9-17 * * 1-5` | Every hour 09:00\u201317:00, Monday\u2013Friday |
\n| `0 12 1,15 * *` | Noon on the 1st and 15th of each month |<\/p>\n
### Parallel vs sequential<\/p>\n
– **`parallel: true`** \u2014 all commands are dispatched in the same server tick.
\n– **`parallel: false`** \u2014 commands are dispatched one per tick in order, so each command’s synchronous side-effects
\n complete before the next one starts.<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
All commands require the `cronscheduler.admin` permission (default: op).<\/p>\n
