bluemix-cron

================================================================================

A sample application for bluemix that runs cron tasks.

The sample runs two "cron jobs",

using the [npm cron package](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cron). One cron job

runs every 10 seconds, the other runs every 15 seconds.  Both jobs just

print the current time and a short message to stdout.

install

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run the following commands to install this sample:

    git clone https://github.com/pmuellr/bluemix-cron.git

    cd bluemix-cron

    npm install

run locally

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run the server with the command:

    node server

By default the server uses port 3000; to use a different one, set the PORT

environment variable:

    PORT=4000 node server

You should see messages printed to the console every 10 and 15 seconds, and

an HTTP server will be running at the default or specified port that doesn't

do much.

run on bluemix

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install per the install directions above, then from within the `bluemix-cron`

directory, run

    cf push 

where `` is the name you'd like to use for this application.

When the `cf push` completes, the application should have been uploaded,

staged, and started on bluemix.  You can go to the URL displayed in the

`cf push` output and see the same web page output as running locally.

You can get see the console logs with either of these commands:

    cf logs 

    cf files  logs/stdout.log

When you're done verifying this application work, you should stop it because

it's not doing anything useful:

    cf stop
