yacron is a modern Cron replacement that is Docker-friendly - "Crontab" is in YAML format; - Builtin sending of Sentry and Mail outputs when cron jobs fail; - Flexible configuration: you decide how to determine if a cron job fails or not; - Designed for running in Docker, Kubernetes, or 12 factor environments: - Runs in the foreground; - Logs everything to stdout/stderr [1]; - Option to automatically retry failing cron jobs, with exponential backoff. [1] Whereas vixie cron only logs to syslog, requiring a syslog daemon to be running in the background or else you don't get logs!
