Search¶

Cronboard includes a built-in search feature that lets you quickly find cron jobs by keyword. It’s useful when you have many jobs and want to jump to one that matches a script name, ID, or expression.

Starting a Search¶

Press / to open the search prompt. Type your query and confirm with Enter.

The search is case-insensitive and matches against:

• Job ID (comment)
• Cron expression
• Command

For example, typing backup will match any job whose ID, expression, or command contains “backup”. You don’t need to type the whole word; partial matches count.

Navigating Matches¶

After a search is performed, matching rows are highlighted in bold yellow. If there is more than one match, move between them with the keys below.

A notification shows the total number of matches found (e.g. "3 match(es) for 'backup'"). If there are no matches, you’ll see a message saying so and the table stays unchanged.

Clearing a Search¶

Press Escape to clear the current search and restore the table to its normal view. You can also start a new search by pressing / again and typing a different query.

Notes¶

• Search works in both the Local tab and on Remote Server tables. The behavior is the same in both.
• The table must have at least one row for search to be available. If the table is empty, the search shortcut may not open the prompt.
