Overview

Liferay 7.1 uses the Quartz Scheduler to schedule jobs for running background tasks.

Liferay administrators and developers sometimes require a live (runtime) view of the scheduled jobs and/or control of those jobs. The scheduled jobs may be Liferay platform tasks and/or custom tasks.

The scheduled jobs can be managed via many different tools and approaches.

This article considers use of the following tools:

• Scheduled Job Manager by Rivet Logic
• Scheduler Manager Gogo Shell Command by Antonio Musarra

See the Resources section below for download links.

There are many other tools and approaches available, but that is beyond the scope of this article.
