boxlang-scheduled-tasks

BoxLang scheduling uses a DSL via BaseScheduler and ScheduledTask classes with fluent APIs to configure in-process recurring tasks. You register a scheduler class in Application.bx and start it with schedulerStart to enable scheduled workloads.

Yes, BoxLang supports HTTP-driven scheduling via bx:schedule endpoints for persistent task execution. This allows you to manage and trigger scheduled workloads remotely across multiple applications using HTTP requests.

Yes, BoxLang scheduled task management provides comprehensive cron support for long-running cron-like jobs. The API includes frequency control and cron expression integration to precisely define task execution schedules.

Orchestrating scheduled tasks across multiple BoxLang applications involves using application descriptor integration and lifecycle BIFs. You configure BaseScheduler during app startup or shutdown and manage runtime task orchestration through the comprehensive scheduling API.

Use in-process DSL scheduling for app startup and runtime task orchestration within a single process, while HTTP-driven bx:schedule endpoints suit persistent task endpoints requiring external triggers or cross-application coordination.

Yes, BoxLang task scheduling operates without external dependencies, utilizing built-in BaseScheduler, ScheduledTask, and lifecycle BIFs. It integrates natively with the application descriptor to manage task registration and frequency control internally.
