# Cron jobs

Run a command on a schedule inside one of your containers, per app or per database, each job in its own timezone. Runs are tracked by the agent on the server, so a panel restart or an upgrade never kills a run in flight.

## Why it matters

The target container is resolved live at every occurrence, so a redeployed app keeps working. Failures and completions are alerts you can route.
