Update a CronJob

Use this page when a CronJob already exists and you need to change it without creating a replacement from scratch.

This is the default edit entry point for an existing CronJob in Sealos.

This page is not a continuation of the fixed visit a URL walkthrough. Use it for any existing CronJob you need to change, no matter which task type you set up earlier.

When to use this

Use this page when the CronJob already exists and you need to adjust the schedule, target, task type, or other saved settings.

Typical changes include switching to a different target URL or command, changing the schedule, or correcting values after the first setup.

Keep this page task-focused.

You only need enough detail to reopen the current CronJob, change the fields that matter, and save a clean update.

Before you change this

Changes affect future runs.

They do not rewrite a Job that already started, is currently running, or already finished.

If you are changing several risky fields at once, note the previous values first so you can compare the saved configuration after the edit.

Update the CronJob

1. Open the existing CronJob from the CronJob list or details page.
2. Use the action that reopens the edit or change form for that CronJob.
3. Modify only the settings you actually need to change.
4. Review the task type, target, schedule, and any other changed fields before you save.
5. Save the CronJob so Sealos records the new configuration for future runs.

You may see different editable fields depending on the task type, but this page is not a field-by-field reference.

Focus on the values that changed and confirm they still describe the behavior you want the CronJob to use the next time it is scheduled to run.

Verify

Use both checks below before you treat the update as complete:

• First, confirm the saved configuration changed in the CronJob details page or list view.
• Second, wait for the next future run and confirm that run reflects the new configuration or target behavior.

Do not treat a saved form alone as full success.

The update is only complete when the next future run shows the change you intended to make.
