Cron Jobs
The Cron page lets you view, manage, and trigger scheduled tasks configured in your OpenClaw instance.
Job List
Each cron job card shows:
- Job name and description
- Schedule — displayed as a human-readable string (e.g., “Every 10 minutes”)
- Status — enabled/disabled badge
- Last run — timestamp and result (success/failure)
- Error count — number of recent failures
Run History
Expand a job to see its run history with:
- Timestamp of each run
- Duration
- Result (success or error)
- Error messages (if any)
On mobile, long error messages are contained within the card — the runs container has a max height with vertical scrolling to prevent horizontal overflow.
Manual Trigger
Each job has a Run Now button to trigger it immediately, bypassing the schedule.
Editing Jobs
Click a job to open the edit dialog where you can modify:
- Schedule (cron expression)
- Job configuration
- Enable/disable toggle
Cron jobs are defined in your openclaw.json configuration. The Cron page reads and triggers them via the gateway API — it doesn’t modify the configuration directly.
