PeltyCMS User docs/Administrator guide
Automation and cron
PeltyCMS runs its own scheduler inside pelty-server. You do not need a system cron entry: as long as the server runs, these tasks run.
| Task | Shown as | Runs |
|---|---|---|
billing.recurring | Recurring invoices | daily |
billing.overdue | Overdue reminders & suspensions | daily |
billing.autopay | Automatic card payments | daily |
domains.daily | Domain renewals & expiry | daily |
domains.process | Domain registrations | every 5 min |
tickets.escalate | Ticket escalations | every 5 min |
usage.bill | Usage billing | every 1 h |
uploads.purge_orphans | Orphan upload cleanup | every 1 h |
support.pipe | Ticket mail piping | every 5 min |
Admin → System & settings → Jobs shows each task's health (healthy, late, failing, never ran), last result, last and next run, and its successes and failures in the last 24 hours. From there you can:
- Run now: queue a task immediately (
jobs.manage). - Disable a task.
- Pin a daily task to a start hour (UTC), for example to run billing at night.
The same page also lists the background jobs themselves (emails, provisioning, webhooks, backups).
See the developer reference Scheduled tasks for the full list of job kinds.
