Can you describe exactly the need? (to see if we can cover it in XO). Otherwise, I don't see any issue to use cron.

I wrote this script to monitor battery level via snmp, and in case low battery level I want to do some actions
I guess I could put it directly in XCP but for best measures I want to avoid any non standard configuration changes - becaouse I'll later simply forget about it.

#!/bin/bash

UPSBatteryLevelCheck="$(snmpget -v1 -c public ups01 .1.3.6.1.4.1.43943.1.1.3.4.0| sed -n 's/.*INTEGER: //p')"

if [ "$UPSBatteryLevelCheck" -lt "50" ]; then

subject="Subject: Alert UPS01 - low battery level"
body="UPS01 Battery Level below 50%"
from="sen@d.er"
to="em@a.il"
echo -e "Subject:${subject}\n${body}" | sendmail -f "${from}" -t "${to}"

fi

Are you using XO from sources?
If yes, this XO will run inside a regular VM and therefor I'd say yes, you can put this script into crontab.

If you are using the XOA appliance I wouldnt recommend it just due to the fact that they could blame it incase anything goes wrong

I can put the script everywhere - but I want to avoid non standard config. In case of failure of {system} I'm reinstalling it, and restoring config from file. I don't need to remember that I've put some fancy staff somewhere on the lan.
