Background Tasks Unleashed (BTU) v14

For details, please refer to the Official Documentation.

• The companion application, the BTU Scheduler, is maintained on a separate GitHub site.

What is BTU?

Background Tasks Unleashed is:

1. a Frappe Framework application for Task Scheduling and Automation.
2. a tool for running tasks or processes automatically, on a repeating schedule, in the background of your Frappe web application.
3. a robust alternative to the out-of-the-box Scheduled Job Types featured in the Frappe framework.

Capabilities

Using only your web browser, take full control of the BTU application. No need to SSH and modify hooks.py.

• Tasks organize your reusable jobs, enabling you to run any Python function (standard or custom) and pass your own arguments.
• Schedules will run Tasks in the background, at any cadence required (FYI, we can do cron...with timezones!)
• Logs give you visibility into your Task history. Not just success or fail, but the complete standard output and errors.

You can also:

• Run any Task on-demand.
• When a scheduled Task completes, automatically receive an email notification (including CC and BCC)
• Use an included CLI application to interact with the BTU from a shell terminal, instead of your web browser.
