Job Scheduler with Recurring and One-Time Jobs

This Node.js application manages scheduling and execution of jobs, including both recurring and one-time jobs. It leverages the following libraries:

• node-schedule: For scheduling jobs based on cron expressions.
• nodemailer (optional): For sending notification emails upon job failures.

Functionality Overview:

• Recurring Jobs:
  • Schedules jobs based on cron expressions defined in the Job model.
  • Uses node-schedule to schedule job execution at specified intervals.
• One-Time Jobs:
  • Schedules jobs based on a specific scheduled_time property in the Job model.
  • Executes the job at the designated time.
• Job Execution:
  • Manages the execution flow of both recurring and one-time jobs.
  • Implements a retry mechanism for failed recurring jobs (configurable max_attempts in the Job model).
• Job Failure Handling:
  • Logs error messages for failed jobs.
  • Optionally sends notification emails about failures using sendNotificationEmail (requires configuration).
