Background Tasks Unleashed (BTU) v15

Official documentation — Frappe app + Python scheduler, one product.

Companion scheduler: btu_scheduler_py (required for recurring schedules). The legacy Rust scheduler is retired.

What is this?

Background Tasks Unleashed is:

• a Frappe Framework application for task scheduling and automation
• a tool for running Python processes automatically on a repeating schedule in the background
• a robust alternative to Frappe's built-in Scheduled Job Types for business-configured work

Capabilities

Using the Desk (no SSH, no hooks.py edits):

• Tasks — run any Python function with your own arguments
• Schedules — cron with per-schedule time zones
• Logs — complete stdout/stderr history
• Run Later — deferred one-shot work with visibility
