What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
I would love to use crontab for LDAP Sync Jobs, to allow times of day withouth sync while having dense repetition in other times of day.
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
The main problem is, that the AD sync job does get stuck quiet often, always at night, when there are automated backups, updates and server restarts running. Those can hit the application server as well as domain controllers and can lead to the process getting stuck.
At the same time through the night - in our out-of-office - we do not have any changes in user management, therefore syncs are not useful at all.
We would love to specify the range via crontab (for example Crontab.guru - The cron schedule expression generator [0,15,30,45 6-20 * * 1-6]).
Crontab is a standard in many software and well established, but it can also be solved in a different way.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
Currently I use a job repetition each 2 hours to reduce the probality of the job getting stuck in a server restart, but this is too long for live updates in our internal processes.
