Setting Up Reliable Automation Intervals

Follow this manual to define exactly when your automated tasks should be triggered by the system core.

Step 1: Using Neural Presets

BoostonCP provides pre-configured intervals for rapid setup:

  • Every Minute: Runs every 60 seconds (* * * * *).
  • Daily: Executes once at midnight.
  • Weekly: Runs on Sunday mornings.

Step 2: Defining Custom Expressions

If you need a specific time (e.g., "Every Monday at 3 PM"), select "Custom" and enter the standard 5-digit cron expression.

Step 3: Tracking Upcoming Execution

In the Cron Ledger, check the Next Run badge. The system calculates and displays the exact timestamp of the next execution cycle, allowing you to verify that your frequency logic is correct.

MANUAL NOTE: Do not schedule high-resource tasks (like full backups) to run every minute, as this may trigger CPU throttling on your account.
