Cron Job Rescue Kit

Your agent was supposed to run a morning scan at 6 AM, build products at 7:30, and brief you at 9. Instead, you woke up to silence. You check the cron runs — they show 'ok' with a 5-second duration. Your agent ran for five seconds, did nothing, and reported success. This is the most common operational failure in OpenClaw, and almost every new user hits it.

Cron Job Rescue Kit diagnoses exactly why your scheduled jobs aren't working and gives you battle-tested templates to fix them. It covers the two execution paths most users don't know about (systemEvent vs agentTurn), provides 8 ready-to-paste payload templates for every common job type, includes a diagnostic decision tree for troubleshooting, and lists the 6 failure patterns that cause 95% of broken crons — with the exact fix for each one.
