Schedule tasks

[sgaseretto]

I see in the readme that you can define tasks to run on a schedule with Genie, but is there a way to set them up and schedule them with Genie? Couldn't find something explaining how to do it in the docs

@sgaseretto in Genie tasks are basically julia scripts that you can run at any given time. But Genie doesn't yet offer task scheduling logic for tasks out of the box(not that I am aware of)

$ bin/runtask TaskName

API here: https://www.genieframework.com/docs/api/toolbox.html

You can look at example tasks here: https://github.com/GenieFramework/PkgVizBoard/tree/master/tasks

From the above tasks if you pick S3DBTask it is responsible to dump data in db. You can also hook this with a cron job

I thought of implementing a crontab as Genie Plugin(in free time) but due to some other priorities didn't made any progress. If you have any other idea let us know. Would be happy to review any contributions made :)

Thanks a lot for the rapid response @AbhimanyuAryan ! I thought that scheduling was integrated, but now I understand what are Genie tasks meant for. Searching for something to schedule tasks, I found JobSchedulers.jl. I'll experiment with it and how to add it as a plugin to Genie once I get more free time from my job!
