Cron & Scheduling

Schedule and manage recurring tasks with cron and systemd timers. Use when setting up cron jobs, writing systemd timer units, handling timezone-aware scheduling, monitoring failed jobs, implementing retry patterns, or debugging why a scheduled task didn't run.

This skill appears safe as a scheduling reference, but treat cron and systemd changes as persistent system changes: review commands before running them, back up existing crontabs, confirm the user/service account, and disable timers or jobs you no longer want.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: cron-scheduling Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to its provision of extensive capabilities for arbitrary command execution and system configuration modification, which, while plausibly needed for a 'cron-scheduling' skill, represent significant high-risk behaviors. Specifically, the `SKILL.md` demonstrates commands like `crontab -e` (editing user crontabs), `sudo crontab -u` (editing other users' crontabs), `crontab -r` (removing all cron jobs), and includes a `cron-wrapper.sh` script that explicitly executes arbitrary commands provided as arguments. While there is no clear evidence of intentional malicious behavior by the skill's author, these broad permissions and execution capabilities could be leveraged for harmful actions if misused by a malicious user interacting with the AI agent.
