I think BMW used to use a paid product named Control-M to handle this (from BMC, still exists). It contained what people quickly need to reach for: - schedule a job in UTC or local time zone for a particular place; - schedule a job but only if another job ran beforehand; - semaphore-like resource limits on jobs. It did this with job generating resource tokens and other jobs stating a token as a condition for being scheduled. It ended up being a not so nice system to debug to be honest, but worked fine. For simple job, I’d reach for systemd timers on a single machine, a kubernetes cronjob on a given platform, or something external altogether otherwise (for geo-distributed scheduled jobs). |
