Background tasks

2min

Background tasks are available in Passwork 5.1.0 and higher

Background tasks are tasks that Passwork performs in the background on a certain schedule. For example, LDAP synchronization, loading favicons, and other tasks that take time and resources to process.

To view the list of scheduled tasks and check your settings, go to the Background Tasks section:

To manage background tasks, you need to configure the operating system scheduler Cron (for Linux) or Task Sheduler (for Windows Server).

The configuration should be done directly on the server where Passwork is installed

The script will analyze which tasks should be run and create a separate thread for each task. When executed, each task writes a log to the ./files/logs/tasks/ folder in files like ./task-*log. After the task is finished, you can view and download the log from the Background TasksTasks History page. The Passwork Task Scheduler system logs (with errors) are in ./files/logs/tasks/.
