Cron Manager

• Installation
• Behavior
• Schedule UX

Filament plugin for zpm-packages/cron-manager-laravel that exposes cron management through the admin panel.

#Installation

composer require zpm-packages/cron-manager-filament

Register the plugin on your panel:

use ZPMPackages\FilamentCronManager\FilamentCronManagerPlugin;

$panel->plugin(FilamentCronManagerPlugin::make());

#Behavior

• when cron-manager.sync_with_database is false, the plugin registers a direct system management page
• when cron-manager.sync_with_database is true, the plugin registers a resource backed by the database table

On Windows, the direct system management page can show both package-managed cron jobs and imported Task Scheduler entries. Imported tasks are mapped best-effort from their triggers and may use descriptive schedule labels instead of a raw cron expression.

Visibility is configurable in config/cron-manager.php:

• cron-manager.system_page.show_managed_cron_jobs
• cron-manager.system_page.show_system_task_schedules

#Schedule UX

In direct system mode, the create and edit forms use a preset schedule select.

In database-synced mode, the resource form still suggests common schedules like every minute, every 5 minutes, every hour, and every day while allowing custom cron expressions.

The command field also includes a tip for a quick smoke test:

php /schedule.php "Cron comment"

Expected output:

Cron comment ran at 2026-05-06 13:45:00

Monthly and yearly presets are surfaced as Unix-only options because the Windows Task Scheduler adapter supports only the common minute, hour, day, and week-based schedules for creation.

The schedule column in both Filament tables now prefers a human-readable primary label, shows the raw cron expression underneath when available, and wraps long schedule text within a 400px column.
