Running Man

Cron manager for Benri

Runningman is an application designed to run crons on schedule! Great for building scripts that are supposed to be running in the background.

Technologically, Runningman is built on Node JS, since crons and schedules seem to go well with event-based loops (Node JS). Like cidars and beers.

Perhaps, some relevant examples would be:

• sending reminder emails to Restaurants about their billing every first day of the month
• scraping off some data spreadsheet every hour to send requests to Snakebite for persisting to database instead

4. run the server by $ node web.js dev if you are running Snakebite on your local machine (assuming Snakebite is listening on port 8000)
