| summary | This article provides examples of how to create sophisticated cron jobs that execute scripts based on various conditions. It demonstrates how to schedule scripts for weekly execution (every Tuesday at 7am) while excluding the last Tuesday of the month, and how to incorporate checks for holidays, weather conditions (clear, cloudy), and even leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to determine if a script should run based on news relevance. The examples utilize tools like `curl`, `jq`, `grep`, and potentially an LLM interface to achieve these conditional executions. |
