Why another scheduler?

Every option has a fatal flaw.

⏰

cron

No monitoring. No retries. No UI. No alerts. No history. Silent failures.

🌪️

Airflow

Python DAGs, scheduler + workers + DB + executor + Redis. Overkill for running a shell script.

🟢

Cronicle

Node.js (~100MB RAM), flat-file storage, no SQL backend, no Autosys DSL, no JIL import.

🦀

rusty-sched

Single Rust binary (~4MB RAM). SQLite or Postgres. Autosys conditions DSL. JIL import. Inline editor. Live logs. Reliable as cron, powerful as Autosys. Free forever.

60-second quickstart

No dependencies. No setup. No registration.

1. Install (Linux / macOS)

curl -fsSL https://github.com/jdp5949/rusty-sched/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Install to custom prefix: PREFIX=$HOME/.local ... | PREFIX=$HOME/.local sh

1. Install (Windows PowerShell)

irm https://github.com/jdp5949/rusty-sched/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

2. Start the server

# SQLite (default — zero config)
rusty-sched server

# Postgres
rusty-sched server --db-url postgres://user:pass@host/dbname

Open http://localhost:8080 — that's it.

3. Create a job via CLI

cat <<EOF | rusty-sched apply -f -
name: nightly-etl
trigger:
  cron: "0 2 * * *"
command: /opt/etl/run.sh
max_attempts: 3
backoff_secs: 30
timeout_secs: 3600
EOF

4. Or import an existing Autosys JIL file

rusty-sched jil -f my_jobs.jil

What's in v0.2

Shipped and working today.

📅

Flexible Triggers

Cron, interval, one-shot, manual, dependency, webhook, file watch.

🧩

Conditions DSL

Full Autosys expression parser: success("a") AND failure("b"). Short forms s/f/d/n/r. AND/OR/NOT/parens.

📄

JIL Import

Parse Autosys JIL text files and import jobs directly. Migrate from Autosys in minutes.

🔁

Retries + Timeouts

Max attempts, backoff delay, hard timeout. Live KILLJOB via API or CLI.

🖥️

Web UI + Inline Editor

React + Tailwind. CodeMirror inline job editor. Live log tail. Run history. Pause/resume/trigger.

📊

Job Stats + Sparklines

Success rate (24h), p50/p99 duration, last failure. Sparkline of last 20 runs per job.

📜

Persistent Log Streaming

stdout/stderr stored in DB (100MB cap). Stream to UI in real time. Replay after restart.

🗄️

SQLite + Postgres

Zero-config SQLite by default. Pass --db-url postgres://... to use Postgres. Same binary.

📣

Alerts

Email (SMTP / Gmail app password), Slack webhook, generic JSON webhook. Per-job config.

⌨️

Full CLI

apply / update / delete / trigger / pause / resume / runs / jil / sendevent KILLJOB

🔜

Auth / RBAC v0.3

Session login, roles (admin/operator/viewer), audit log.

🔜

HA Cluster v0.4

3-node embedded Raft. Sub-second failover. Zero missed fires.
