Cron buttons will press themselves automatically on a cron schedule. No separate scheduler to configure — you define the cadence when you create the button, and a background trigger daemon handles the rest. 
# Planned shape
buttons create daily-snapshot \
  --code './scripts/snapshot.sh' \
  --cron '0 3 * * *'    # every day at 3am
List scheduled buttons: 
buttons list --scheduled

Blocked on

The trigger system (autonoco/autono#272). A cron schedule stored on a button is inert without a daemon watching the schedule and firing the button when the time arrives.

​
What’s changing when triggers land

  • --cron '<schedule>' flag accepts standard cron expressions (minute hour day month weekday)
  • Each scheduled press is recorded in the button’s run history just like a manual press
  • Trigger daemon surface: buttons serve --with-cron or a standalone buttons cron process
  • Overlap protection: if a previous run is still executing when the next trigger fires, the new run is either skipped or queued (configurable per button)
