# Crontab
Crontab is a basic container for running custom scripts on regular schedules. It uses the standard Cron package that is built into Ubuntu and the like.

## Usage
The most basic config looks like this:

```
docker run -d \
	--name Crontab \
	--mount type=bind,src=/path/,dst=/etc/cron.d/ \
	mecjay12/crontab
```

This mounts a standard crontab file (like you'd make with crontab -e on a system). This can be any file extension either direct file mounted or directory mounted to /etc/cron.d/ . Additional options include:

Mounting the docker socket to run docker commands on the host:

```
	--mount type=bind,src=/var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
	--constraint node.role==manager
```

Setting a time zone (defaults to UTC):

```
	-e TZ=America/New_York
```
