/install ez-cronjob
Description
Fix common cron job failures in Clawdbot/Moltbot - message delivery issues, tool timeouts, timezone bugs, and model fallback problems.
Usage Guidance
Installers should still review any command before allowing an agent to run it. Confirm job names, schedules, timezones, recipients, and messages; keep job IDs so unwanted cron jobs can be removed; redact logs if they contain private messages, chat IDs, or operational details.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ez-cronjob
Version: 1.0.0
The skill instructs the AI agent to use `exec` or `bash` for `clawdbot cron` commands, which grants the agent the ability to execute arbitrary shell commands on the host system. Additionally, it provides debugging commands that involve reading system logs (`tail`) and restarting the `clawdbot gateway` service. While these capabilities (found in `SKILL.md`) are presented as necessary for diagnosing and fixing cron job failures, they represent significant system interaction and a potential attack surface if the agent were to be prompted maliciously, classifying it as suspicious due to risky capabilities without clear malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill teaches agents to create, list, run, remove, and debug Clawdbot cron jobs, including scheduled message delivery; these capabilities match the stated troubleshooting purpose.
Instruction Scope
It explicitly recommends using exec/bash for scoped `clawdbot cron` commands because the internal cron tool may deadlock; that broadens execution mode but is disclosed and tied to the cron workflow.
Install Mechanism
The package contains only README.md and SKILL.md with ClawdHub/manual-copy installation instructions; no executable scripts, dependencies, or install-time code are present.
Credentials
Log-reading commands and `clawdbot gateway restart` are proportionate for diagnosing cron failures, but they can expose local bot logs or affect the running gateway service.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent scheduled jobs and future message delivery are the core function; artifacts do not request credentials, elevated privileges, or hidden background workers beyond user-created cron jobs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ez-cronjob - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ez-cronjob - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
