Rundeck - Job Scheduler and Runbook Automation

---

Rundeck is an open source automation service with a web console, command line tools and a WebAPI. It lets you easily run automation tasks across a set of nodes. It can schedule a job, more secure replacement of cron. It provides support for runbook automation where it can execute common set of reusable procedures.

evQueue - Job scheduler and queueing engine

---

evQueue is an open source job scheduler and queueing engine. It features an event-driven C++ engine and a PHP / MySQL web control interface which provides tasks monitoring and creation. It provides both simple task execution and complex task chaining (workflow) using an easy to use drag & drop web interface. Workflow description includes output linking to input, conditions, loops... Queues management provides an easy way for task parallelization and resource control.

Job Scheduler

---

The Job Scheduler is used for automation - for example, process automation using the free database systems MySQL, PostgreSQL or Firebird or using SQL Server, Oracle or DB2. You can use the Job Scheduler to launch executable files and shell scripts and to run database procedures automatically. Jobs are configurable as Web Services providing interoperability with enterprise applications.

crono - A time-based background job scheduler daemon (just like Cron) for Rails

---

Crono is a time-based background job scheduler daemon (just like Cron) for Ruby on Rails. Currently, there is no such thing as Ruby Cron for Rails. Well, there's Whenever but it works on top of Unix Cron, so you can't manage it from Ruby. Crono is pure Ruby. It doesn't use Unix Cron and other platform-dependent things. So you can use it on all platforms supported by Ruby. It persists job states to your database using Active Record. You have full control of jobs performing process. It's Ruby, so you can understand and modify it to fit your needs.

chronos - Fault tolerant job scheduler for Mesos which handles dependencies and ISO8601 based schedules

---

Chronos is a replacement for cron. It is a distributed and fault-tolerant scheduler that runs on top of Apache Mesos that can be used for job orchestration. It supports custom Mesos executors as well as the default command executor. Thus by default, Chronos executes sh (on most systems bash) scripts. Chronos can be used to interact with systems such as Hadoop (incl. EMR), even if the Mesos agents on which execution happens do not have Hadoop installed. Included wrapper scripts allow transfering files and executing them on a remote machine in the background and using asynchronous callbacks to notify Chronos of job completion or failures. Chronos is also natively able to schedule jobs that run inside Docker containers.

ofelia - A docker job scheduler (aka. crontab for docker)

---

Ofelia is a modern and low footprint job scheduler for docker environments, built on Go. Ofelia aims to be a replacement for the old fashioned cron. It has been a long time since cron was released, actually more than 28 years. The world has changed a lot and especially since the Docker revolution. Vixie's cron works great but it's not extensible and it's hard to debug when something goes wrong.

Bee Queue - A simple, fast, robust job/task queue for Node.js, backed by Redis

---

A simple, fast, robust job/task queue for Node.js, backed by Redis.Bee-Queue is meant to power a distributed worker pool and was built with short, real-time jobs in mind. A web server can enqueue a job, wait for a worker process to complete it, and return its results within an HTTP request. Scaling is as simple as running more workers.

OddJob

---

Oddjob is a free open source Java job scheduler. Oddjob provides 'no programming required' scheduling with a business orientated approach that brings control back to the user. Oddjob Explorer allows the user to monitor and control a job any where on the network with an intuitive visual interface.

JCronTab

---

Jcrontab is a scheduler written in Java. The project objective is to provide a fully functional schedules for Java projects. Jcrontab is designed to be extended and integrated with any project. Reads and stores the tasks to execute in a file, a database or an EJB and provides a basic web UI.

Cascading - Data Processing Workflows on Hadoop

---

Cascading is a Data Processing API, Process Planner, and Process Scheduler used for defining and executing complex, scale-free, and fault tolerant data processing workflows on an Apache Hadoop cluster. It is a thin Java library and API that sits on top of Hadoop's MapReduce layer and is executed from the command line like any other Hadoop application.

Sidekiq - Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby

---

Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby. Sidekiq uses threads to handle many jobs at the same time in the same process. It does not require Rails but will integrate tightly with Rails 3/4 to make background processing dead simple. Sidekiq uses multithreading so it is much more memory efficient than Resque (which forks a new process for every job).

GNUBatch

---

GNUbatch is a job scheduler to run under Unix and GNU/Linux operating systems. It executes jobs at specified dates and times or according to dependencies or interlocks defined by the user. Schedules of jobs may be run on just one processor, or shared across several processors on a network with network-wide dependencies. Access to jobs and other facilities may be restricted to one user or several users in a group as required.

kala - Modern Job Scheduler

---

Kala is a simplistic, modern, and performant job scheduler written in Go. It lives in a single binary and does not have any dependencies.Kala was inspired by the desire for a simpler Chronos (developed by Airbnb). Kala is Chronos for the rest of us.
