Parse Server – How to use a scheduler to run ‘jobs’ over and over

Question 1

I have spent an entire day trying to get some kind of scheduler working with my Parse Server (running on AWS Beanstalk Node.js)
I was able to get some code inside the js file but it did not seem like it was working.
Is there any way I can set up some kind of scheduler so I don’t have to manually run my jobs through the Dashboard?

Question 2

You have Configure the nodejs cron job for parse-server job schedule.

install “CRON” module – npm install cron,(reference:https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron).
Change the parse server job Schedule function declaration. Parse.Cloud.job("jobScheduleName", function(){ })
to
function jobScheduleName() { };
Run cron

    var CronJob = require('cron').CronJob; //include dependency
    //add this code to run job every 15 minute.
    //set your time as per your run schedule.
    new CronJob('0 */15 * * * *', function() {
        Cron.jobScheduleName();
    }, null, true,"timeZone");
