Examples

Complete Workflow

# 1. Start a recipe scheduler
praisonai schedule start news-monitor \
    --recipe news-analyzer \
    --interval hourly \
    --max-cost 0.50

# 2. List schedulers
praisonai schedule list

# 3. Check logs
praisonai schedule logs news-monitor --follow

# 4. View stats
praisonai schedule describe news-monitor

# 5. Stop when done
praisonai schedule stop news-monitor

Foreground Mode (for Testing)

# Run in foreground (Ctrl+C to stop)
praisonai schedule "Check news" --interval "*/10s"

Production Daemon

# Start as daemon
praisonai schedule start production-monitor \
    --recipe system-monitor \
    --interval "*/5m" \
    --daemon

# Check it's running
praisonai schedule list

# View logs
praisonai schedule logs production-monitor --follow

Multiple Schedulers

# Start multiple schedulers
praisonai schedule start hourly-news --recipe news-monitor --interval hourly
praisonai schedule start daily-report --recipe report-generator --interval daily
praisonai schedule start health-check --recipe health-checker --interval "*/5m"

# List all
praisonai schedule list

# Stop all at once
praisonai schedule stop-all

Troubleshooting

Scheduler Not Starting

If scheduler fails to start:

Check if name is already in use: praisonai schedule list
Verify recipe exists: praisonai recipe list
Check logs for errors

High Cost

If costs are higher than expected:

Set --max-cost budget limit
Increase interval between executions
Use a smaller/cheaper model

Scheduler Stopped Unexpectedly

If scheduler stops:

Check logs: praisonai schedule logs <name>
Verify API keys are set
Check if budget limit was reached

Cannot Stop Scheduler

If stop command doesn’t work:

Get PID from list: praisonai schedule list
Kill manually: kill <PID>
Delete state: praisonai schedule delete <name>
