What is it ?

GenghisTask is an open source, lightweight and secured replacement for tools such as Jenkins, Visual-tom or Crontab UI. These tools are already nice CIs or schedulers and in GenghisTask, you will find again their traditional use case :

• Launch a periodic rsync backup of a folder
• Manage tasks with an UI, know what’s going on and debug without hassle

New use cases :

• I need to launch my collection of usefull script on demand unscheduled
• I need a centralized way to manage the several crontab and tasks of several server
• I need rollback, version control and continuous integration of the new tasks
• I have security concerns and should no be able to inject arbitrary code into a crontab via a web ui
• I need to launch the task via HTTP as a Hook (or as a Lambda)
• I need to run a script in any language, even if the scheduler source code is in an other language.
