Cron jobs are scheduled tasks attached to a node. Ageneral merges how they show up in the product into one place so you can review what is configured without jumping between agent stacks—different workload types can contribute jobs underneath.

​
How they fit

  • Node-level view — The dashboard shows a snapshot of cron jobs for the node when you open node details and the node is reachable. That view is shared across workloads for ease of use, even when execution paths differ by stack.
  • OpenClaw today — OpenClaw is the workload that implements cron on nodes right now: definitions live with the gateway runtime, and the cron tool follows owner-only rules in gateway config. Other agent types can plug into the same node story as the platform adds them.
  • Connectors and skills are separate concerns—see Connectors and Skills.
