Running frequent cron jobs freezes Task Manager list and the UI after few hours

[sammael]

Hi, I use https://healthchecks.io to keep track of my servers, and on the freenas (11.3-U2) itself I use a cron job that contacts the site via curl every 3 minutes.

This is reported in the Task Manager icon and if the system is up few hours or days, clicking on the Task Manager icon usually completely freezes the ui. Even when it doesn't, it renders the button unusable as all I see is the cron jobs:



Is there any way to stop this particular cron job from showing in the Task Manager?

Thanks!

Here I clicked on the icon today and took screenshot with the chrome task manager showing how it freezes 1 tab and 1 cpu core completely:
