## What is a Cron Job?

Cron jobs run automated calls on a schedule to check the status of your agent and alert you if things fail.

## Creating a Cron Job

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Evaluators and Select Scenarios">
    1. Go to your main dashboard
    2. Navigate to the **Evaluators** section
    3. Select the scenarios you want to automate
    4. Look for the **Action** button in the top right corner
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Cron Job from Actions">
    1. Click the **Action** button in the top right 2. A dropdown menu will appear
    2. Select **"Create a Cron Job"** from the dropdown options
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Cron Job Type">
    You'll be presented with two options:

    * **Manual**: Configure custom cron settings
    * **Predefined**: Use pre-configured schedule templates
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Your Cron Job Settings">
    #### Basic Information

    * **Name**: Enter a descriptive name for your cron job
      * *Tip: Give your cron job a descriptive name to help identify it later*

    #### Schedule Configuration

    **Cron Expression**: `* * * * *`

    * Choose between **Manual Input** or **Quick Schedule**
    * The format represents: *every minute, every hour, every day, every month, every day of the week*

    **Timezone**: Default is `Asia/Calcutta` (adjust as needed)

    **Number of Times to Run**: Set how many times this cron job should run (default: 1)

    #### Detailed Cron Settings

    Configure each time component individually:

    * **Minute**: `*`
      * Examples: `*`, `*/5`, `0-59`, `30`
    * **Hour**: `*`
      * Examples: `*`, `*/2`, `0-23`, `14`
    * **Day of Month**: `*`
      * Examples: `*`, `1-31`, `15`, `L` (Last day of month)
    * **Month**: `*`
      * Examples: `*`, `1-12`, `6`
    * **Day of Week**: `*`
      * Examples: `*`, `0-6` (where 0 = Sunday)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Your Cron Job">
    1. Review all your settings to ensure they're correct
    2. Click **"Save"** or **"Create"** to activate the schedule
    3. Your cron job will now run automatically according to the specified schedule
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Existing Cron Jobs

### Accessing Cron Job Management

1. Navigate to the top right corner of your dashboard
2. Go to the project section
3. Select **Cron Jobs** to access the management interface

### Available Actions

From the cron job management interface, you can:

* **Update**: Modify existing cron job settings and schedules
* **Delete**: Remove cron jobs that are no longer needed
* **Monitor**: View execution status and history

## Common Cron Schedule Examples

Here are some frequently used cron expressions:

* `0 0 * * *` - Daily at midnight
* `0 0 * * 0` - Weekly on Sunday at midnight
* `0 0 1 * *` - Monthly on the 1st at midnight
* `0 */6 * * *` - Every 6 hours
* `*/30 * * * *` - Every 30 minutes
* `0 9 * * 1-5` - Every weekday at 9 AM
