## Background Tasks Unleashed (BTU) v15 For details, please read the project's **[Official Documentation](https://datahenge.github.io/btu/)**. If you're looking for its companion application, the Rust-based **BTU Scheduler**, that project is maintained on a separate GitHub site. 🆕 **NEW in 2025** - Python version of the BTU Scheduler, [btu_scheduler_py](https://github.com/Datahenge/btu_scheduler_py) ### What is this? Background Tasks Unleashed is: * a [Frappe Framework](https://github.com/frappe) application for Task Scheduling and Automation. * a tool for running tasks or processes *automatically*, on a repeating schedule, in the background of your Frappe web application. * a robust alternative to the out-of-the-box **`Scheduled Job Types`** feature in Frappe v13+ ### Capabilities Using only your web browser, take full control of the BTU application. No need to SSH and modify `hooks.py`. * **Tasks** organize your reusable jobs, enabling you to run any Python function (standard or custom) and pass your own arguments. * **Schedules** will run Tasks in the background, at any cadence required (FYI, we can do cron...*with timezones!*) * **Logs** give you visibility into your Task history. Not just success or fail, but the *complete standard output and errors*. You can also: * Run any Task on-demand. * When a scheduled Task completes, automatically receive an email notification (including CC and BCC) * Use an included CLI application to interact with the BTU from a shell terminal, instead of your web browser. ---- ### Installation A complete [Installation Guide](https://datahenge.github.io/btu/installation.html) is available on BTU's GitHub Pages site. ### Linux Prerequisites ```bash apt install pkg-config libsystemd-dev ``` ### Copyright and License * Background Tasks Unleashed (BTU) is licensed MIT.
