Tivix / django-cron

Disable Crons #135

Closed WesleyJohnson closed 2 years ago

WesleyJohnson commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to be able to disable/enable crons without editing CRON_CLASSES in the settings file. I was thinking perhaps having the crons listed in the database with a flag to toggle them on/off. I realize the code that the a cron calls could implement something, but it would be preferred to control it directly from django-cron.

One way to solve your problem though is to have your app/project implement a model that has the enable/disable switch as a BooleanField, then have your do() method in the cronjob class check that value and only actually do anything if the conditions are right.

I would vote to not implement this feature, since it seems like bloat.

We are not currently planning such functionality, perhaps in the future.
