HOW TO USE IT

If the linked Railway service has a cron schedule, use `railway cron list` to view recent runs or `railway cron run --yes` to enqueue an off-schedule run.

WHY THIS HELPS

List or run cron jobs while working with a Railway project.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v5.65.0
• list: Subcommand to list recent runs, newest first; targets the linked service by default.
• run: Subcommand to trigger an off-schedule run now; targets the linked service by default.
• -s, --service <SERVICE>: Service name or ID; defaults to the linked service.
• -e, --environment <ENV>: Environment; defaults to the linked environment.
• -p, --project <PROJECT>: Project ID or name; defaults to the linked project.
• --limit <N>: For `list`, maximum runs to show; default 20, maximum 1000.
• --json: Output in JSON format.
• -y, --yes: For `run`, skip confirmation; required when stdout is not a terminal.
• Prerequisite: Authenticate with a Railway account before using the CLI; the CLI docs specify `railway login` or a token for CI/CD.
• Prerequisite: The target service must have a cron schedule configured in service settings or in a config file's `deploy` section; otherwise the command errors.
