Schedules

A BTU Task Schedule binds a BTU Task to a cron expression and optional IANA time zone.

Cron in local time

Enter cron fields in the schedule's time zone (e.g. America/New_York). BTU converts to UTC for the scheduler daemon.

Default time zone comes from System Settings if not set on the schedule.

Enable / disable

Disabled schedules remain in the database but the scheduler ignores them. Saving a schedule notifies the daemon via Redis RPC (reload).

Scheduler dependency

Recurring schedules require btu_scheduler_py running. Without it, tasks can still run on-demand or via Run Later, but nothing fires on cron.
