Hello, I am trying to run a cron job which is in a cron folder of my nextjs app, I have a service with the repo added to railway, also a postgres db.
Afaik, to run a cron job I need to set a cron schedule and a start command but this will not override nextjs start command?

I think the railway.app cron job is for executing a service.
So the railway.app cron job will turn on the service and then shut the service when it’s done.
You can have a separate service with a cron job that calls an endpoint to your next js app.
But what I did was just use python fastapi’s built in cron job to do the cron job instead of relying on railway.app
But maybe next js has their own library for a cron job
