execute a cron job inside another cron job in node js












0














I m trying to run a cron job inside another cron job in node js. Outside cron job executes one time only
For day 1: Inside cron job executes 1 time
For Day 2: Inside cron job executes 2 times
For Day 3: Inside cron job executes 3 times



cron.schedule("0 30 16 * * Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday", function () {
console.log("inside outside cron job ")
cron.schedule("10 30 16 * * Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday", function () {
console.log("inside cron job 1")
})
})


Why its executing multiple times although i m calling it one time inside a cron job

  • inside cron job should be executed based on the output from outside cron job. Timings for inside cron job is provided by outside one

  • Outside cron job has to be called daily for changed timings

  • Can you clarify the pattern, how you want to run the cron?
