# BoxLang Scheduled Tasks ## Overview BoxLang offers two scheduling models: 1. **Scheduler DSL (in-process code execution)** using scheduler classes backed by `BaseScheduler` and `ScheduledTask` 2. **`bx:schedule` component (HTTP-driven tasks)** for create/update/delete/pause/resume/list/run task endpoints Use the Scheduler DSL for rich in-process logic and task callbacks. Use `bx:schedule` for simple persistent URL triggers. ## Application.bx Integration You can register scheduler classes directly in `Application.bx` so they are auto-discovered for the app context. For full descriptor behavior (app discovery, multi-app isolation, lifecycle), see [`application-descriptor`](../application-descriptor/SKILL.md). ```boxlang class { this.name = "MyApp" // Auto-register scheduler classes for this application this.schedulers = [ "schedulers.DailyMaintenance", "schedulers.HourlyReports" ] } ``` Use this when scheduler lifecycle should be managed with application startup/shutdown rather than ad-hoc `schedulerStart()` calls. ## Option 1: Scheduler DSL (Recommended for Code Workloads) A scheduler class wraps `BaseScheduler` and registers tasks fluently in `configure()`. ```boxlang class { property name="scheduler" property name="logger" function configure() { scheduler .setSchedulerName( "reporting-scheduler" ) .setTimezone( "America/Chicago" ) scheduler.task( "daily-report", "reports"
