I’ve never forgotten about this thread.
I’m now ready to help people with Background Tasks Unleashed (BTU), a task scheduling App for Frappe Framework.
-
First, you’re welcome to join me on my forums, to discuss the tool and your experiences. I’ll support you as best I can: https://forums.datahenge.com. This thread here provides some nice screenshots of the tool.
-
Next, the actual tool consists of 2 separate, open source GitHub repositories:
- A Frappe App for the frontend.
- A background daemon that runs on your Frappe web server, and acts as middleware, handling scheduling and communications.
Both are required. However, after installation and configuration, the scheduling daemon is meant to be “hands-off.” You always interact with the App in your web browser. There are 4 main DocTypes.
-
Official Documentation is a GitHub Pages site. The source is just markdown documents, located in the ‘docs’ subfolder of the main GitHub repo here.

If you’re unable to chat on the forums, or prefer a private chat, just email me: brian@datahenge.com
I still need to write a lot more documentation/tutorials. Tie up some loose ends. I’m sure someone will want a binary daemon compatible with other Linux distributions, such as CentOS/RedHat.
But, it’s now “good enough” to start sharing with others in the community. One of my clients has been using in Production for over 2 months, running a dozen Tasks, and thousands of Sub Tasks every day.
