Scheduled Scout runs

Schedules are local Scout configuration. Use them when the same computer should run the same place-and-issue targets repeatedly. For Atlas-assigned jobs, use worker mode instead.

Configure The Schedule

Enable a schedule and set the cron expression:

scout config schedule set --enabled --cron "0 8 * * 1"

Add targets:

scout config schedule target add \
  --location "Las Vegas, NV" \
  --issues housing_affordability,public_transit

List targets:

scout config schedule target list

Scheduled place-and-issue runs need a working model and search connection when Scout must find new sources:

scout doctor --require search-discovery

Run Once

Run all configured targets once:

scout schedule run-once

Use this before leaving the scheduler running.

Start The Scheduler

scout schedule start

The scheduler runs until interrupted. Use a process manager such as launchd, systemd, or a supervised terminal session when the computer should keep running after logout.
