Scheduled Jobs for scripts available?

Habitat Help

Hi there,

Complete noobie here. If this post does not belong here please feel free to remove it.

Does Habitat have the capabilities of running scripts during scheduled times? Like a job scheduler?

For example would it be possible to have a script scheduled to run every week on lets say Monday at 12 noon. This script would be ran on a windows server, written in powershell, and uses a service account to access some SQL databases to perform queries.

The purpose is to avoid using a scheduled task on a windows server and have it ran on said server, but instead a server used by the chef suite (if possible).

Habitat doesn’t have anything built into itself to do this, but you could create a simple service (think cron in a Habitat package) that could do this.
