title: "Command Lists"

This page tells you how to get started with Backy.

|
||
|
||
Command lists are for executing commands in sequence and getting notifications from them.
|
||
|
||
The top-level object key can be anything you want but not the same as another.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
test2:
|
||
name: test2
|
||
order:
|
||
- test
|
||
- test2
|
||
notifications:
|
||
- mail.prod-email
|
||
- matrix.sysadmin
|
||
cron: "0 * * * * *"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| key | description | type | required
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| `order` | Defines the sequence of commands to execute | `[]string` | yes |
|
||
| `getOutput` | Command(s) output is in the notification(s) | `bool` | no |
|
||
| `notifications` | The notification service(s) and ID(s) to use on success and failure. Must be *`service.id`*. See the [notifications documentation page](/config/notifications/) for more | `[]string` | no |
|
||
| `name` | Optional name of the list | `string` | no |
|
||
| `cron` | Time at which to schedule the list. Only has affect when cron subcommand is run. | `string` | no |
|
||
|
||
### Order
|
||
|
||
The order is an array of commands to execute in order. Each command must be defined.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
order:
|
||
- cmd-1
|
||
- cmd-2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### getOutput
|
||
|
||
Get command output when a notification is sent.
|
||
|
||
Is not required. Can be `true` or `false`. Default is `false`.
|
||
|
||
### Notifications
|
||
|
||
An array of notification IDs to use on success and failure. Must match any of the `notifications` object map keys.
|
||
|
||
### Name
|
||
|
||
Name is optional for logging. If name is not defined, name will be the object's map key.
|
||
|
||
### Cron mode
|
||
|
||
Backy also has a cron mode, so one can run `backy cron` and start a process that schedules jobs to run at times defined in the configuration file.
|
||
|
||
Adding `cron: 0 0 1 * * *` to a `cmd-lists` object will schedule the list at 1 in the morning. See [https://crontab.guru/](https://crontab.guru/) for reference.
|
||
|
||
{{% notice tip %}}
|
||
Note: Backy uses the second field of cron, so add anything except * to the beginning of a regular cron expression.
|
||
{{% /notice %}}
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
cmd-lists:
|
||
docker-container-backup: # this can be any name you want
|
||
# all commands have to be defined
|
||
order:
|
||
- stop-docker-container
|
||
- backup-docker-container-script
|
||
- shell-cmd
|
||
- hostname
|
||
- start-docker-container
|
||
notifications:
|
||
- matrix.id
|
||
name: backup-some-container
|
||
cron: "0 0 1 * * *"
|
||
hostname:
|
||
name: hostname
|
||
order:
|
||
- hostname
|
||
notifications:
|
||
- mail.prod-email
|
||
```
