OK, I got called out
Ha, loser.
*glances over at 6 bash scripts and 2 cron jobs*
Not you, you’re perfect
Suck my dick O’Leary
My current project has a crontab with 216 entries.
At some point it may be good to migrate to airflow or something similar.
It’s not the number of entries that makes it bad. It’s the fact that if you run
crontab, they are gone…That’s why there’s a crontab rule to load the crontab from a file. Cronception if you will.
Make the rule start a secondary cron system. Otherwise it won’t run after you erase the crontab.
Here you go:
with-lock-ex -q /path/to/lockfile sh -c ' while true; do crontab cronfile; sleep 60; done;'
Nah bro, that bash alias is FULLY documented in .bashrc! Idiot.
I know there’s a meme here, but as a Canadian, I’m sorry about that traitorous asshat.
I’ll hear NO aspersions against my precious Cron!
Cron is magic. Cron is civilization!
Oh man, you guys should see what I was cooking up at my old place.
Head office too shitty to give us an actual asset management solution, but we did have full access to the Microsoft suite, so i used a SharePoint lists as databases, powerapps apps running on iPads for all the data entry ux and then like two dozen hacked together power automate flows linking them all together as well as taking any Info out of the actual IT systems head office used and since we didn’t have API access to those system any data feeding back in to them would be in the form of automated emails that the poor 1st line techs in head office would have to sort through and process manually.
Since I’m somewhat of a simpleton… isn’t that how pipelines actually work? The only difference being, they’re all (scripts) available from a centralized system and triggered i.e. with webhooks?
Instead of a local script on a server, the system opens i.e. a ssh session and runs the script step by step remotely?
So is that the joke or am I missing something?
I feel attacked
Yes
