+# Cron
+
+
+Cron-like jobs allowed as part of Unit definition [thanks to robfig/cron](https://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron#hdr-Usage).
+
+**Example definition:**
+
+```yaml
+# ... unit definition above ...
+cron:
+    # every hour on the half hour
+    - spec: 30 * * * *
+    # same as above but with name to detect in UI and logs
+    - spec: 30 * * * *
+      name: named schedule
+    # each hour with custom payload and headers
+    - spec: @hourly
+      content: |
+        hello world
+      headers:
+        X-Some-Header: test-header
+    # each day with content from file
+    - spec: @daily
+      content_file: /path/to/content
+```
+
+
+Schema:
+
+* `spec` (required, string) - cron tab specification for the time interval. See [online builder](https://crontab.guru/)
+* `name` (optional, string) - name for entry to distinguish record in UI or in logs.
+* `headers` (optional, map string=>string) - headers that will be used in simulated request.
+* `content` (optional, string) - simulated request content.
+* `content_file`  (optional, string) - simulated request content file. Has less priority than `content`.
+
+Caveats:
+
+* **Security:** cron job ignores authorizations defined on unit level.
+* **Enqueuing:** cron job will be enqueued regardless of status of previous job.
+* **Errors:** if cron job can't create request (ex: `content_file` not available) - it will print error to log and 
+will try again later at the next schedule.

+* If work dir not defined - temporary directory will be created and removed after execution for each request automatically.
+
+
+Schema:
+
+* `command` (required, string) -  command to execute (will be executed in a shell)
+* `interval` (optional, interval) - interval between attempts
+* `timeout` (optional, interval) - maximum execution timeout (enabled only for bin mode and only if positive)
+* `graceful_timeout` (optional, interval) - maximum execution timeout after which SIGINT will be sent (enabled only for bin mode and only if positive).
+Ie: how long to let command react on SIGTERM signal.
+* `shell` (optional, string) - shell to execute command in bin mode (default - /bin/sh)
+* `environment` (optional, map string=>string) - custom environment for executable (in addition to system)
+* `max_request` (optional, integer) - maximum HTTP body size (enabled if positive)
+* `attempts` (optional, integer) - maximum number of attempts
+* `workers` (optional, integer) - concurrency level - number of parallel requests
+* `mode` (optional, string) - execution mode: `bin` or `cgi` 
+* `workdir` (optional, string) - working directory for the worker. if empty - temporary one will be generated automatically.
+* `authorization` (optional, [Authorization](authorization.md)) - request authorization
+* `cron` (optional,[Cron](cron.md)) - scheduled requests
