EasyCron

EasyCron is a cloud-based webcron service that has been operating since 2011, providing a reliable alternative to traditional Linux cron by allowing users to schedule and manage recurring HTTP-based tasks entirely through a web interface without installing any software on their servers. The service fully supports standard cron expressions compatible with Cronie, Vixie cron, and Quartz Java scheduler syntax, while also offering three simplified methods for specifying execution times by interval, by cron expression, or by manual selection. Custom HTTP requests can be configured with methods including GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, and TRACE, with support for custom headers and request body data for API authentication and complex payload delivery. The execution logging system captures script output for every run, with separate failure logs that are never overwritten by successful executions, ensuring failure traces remain accessible for debugging. Additional capabilities include run time prediction showing upcoming execution dates, output regexp matching to programmatically determine success or failure based on response content, configurable timeout detection for abnormally long jobs, timezone adaptation, and webhook notifications that integrate with Slack and other messaging platforms. The powerful REST API enables programmatic cron job management from external applications, and a WordPress plugin is available for direct integration with the popular CMS scheduling system. The service supports two-factor authentication and provides a crontab syntax generator tool for users unfamiliar with cron expression syntax.
