Drupal Cron Module

This module will allow you to add, remove, enable, disable and run cron jobs on your Drupal 8 website using Drush. This way you can add one single cron job to the crontab of your server which will trigger the configured cron jobs on your Drupal site when needed.

For now, only the execution of shell jobs is supported
