cron-dashboard

cron-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JansenAnalytics/claudex. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,433 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dashboard for viewing scheduled jobs, system services, and Docker containers in one place.

In plain words
What is it for?
Viewing job schedules and health, checking upcoming runs, finding recent errors, inspecting logs, and diagnosing cron jobs or services.
Why use it?
It makes failed, stale, unhealthy, or recently errored processes easier to find than checking each system separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cron-dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/dashboard.cjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cron Dashboard

Unified view of all scheduled jobs, systemd services, and Docker containers with health monitoring.

Quick Reference

cron-dash status           # Full dashboard
cron-dash health           # Health check (problems only)
cron-dash next 12          # Upcoming runs in next 12 hours
cron-dash errors           # Recent errors across all jobs
cron-dash diagnose monitor # Deep diagnosis of a job
cron-dash logs runner 50   # Last 50 lines of a job's log

Commands

status — Full Dashboard

cron-dash status

Shows everything at a glance:

  • All cron jobs with schedule, log age, size, error count, health status
  • Systemd services (user + system scope) — only our custom ones
  • Docker containers with status
  • Summary counts

Health statuses:

Status Meaning
✅ healthy Log updated within expected interval, no errors
⚠️ warning Some errors in recent log lines
❌ error Many errors (>5) in recent log output
⏰ stale Log not updated in 2.5× expected interval
❓ unknown No log file configured or found
◌ disabled Cron entry is commented out

health — Problems Only

cron-dash health

Shows only jobs with issues + actionable suggestions for each.

next [hours] — Upcoming Runs

cron-dash next          # Next 6 hours (default)
cron-dash next 24       # Next 24 hours
cron-dash next 1        # Next hour

errors [name] — Recent Errors

cron-dash errors              # All jobs
cron-dash errors monitor      # Filter by name

Scans last 100 lines of each log for error patterns (error, fail, exception, timeout, refused, etc.).

diagnose <name> — Deep Diagnosis

cron-dash diagnose scan
cron-dash diagnose monitor

Full investigation:

  • Schedule and command details
  • Log analysis (size, freshness, error count, last line)
  • Script existence + permissions check
  • Binary/dependency check
  • Running process check
  • Disk space check
  • Actionable suggestions

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
