issue-bot scheduled jobs

You can set up scheduled jobs by configuring crontab to run issue-bot cron whenever you want. For the more complicated but more reliable systemd setup, two example files are included in this directory: a service unit file and a timer unit file. The service unit executes once, and the timer unit is responsible for calling the service at the intervals you set.

Copy the example files somewhere else and edit them with your own values.

You can put dry_run = true in the config file to check it works without making changes or sending any mail. Also, backup your database if needed.

systemctl --user enable issue-bot.service

You can do a test run with

systemctl --user start issue-bot.service

Now you enable/activate the timer.

systemctl --user enable issue-bot.timer

systemctl --user start issue-bot.timer

Monitor the service status:

systemctl --user status issue-bot
