Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mcron Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Dale Mellor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL or Web page : http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/ * License : GNU GPL Description : Vixie cron replacement written in Guile. Mellor's cron is a 100% compatible replacement for Vixie cron. It supports Vixie cron's crontab files as well as a pure Scheme format for far greater flexibility in specifying when jobs should be run. Examples of specific features: . * Supports finer time-points, i.e. seconds. * Times can be more or less regular, e.g. a job that runs every 17 hours or a job that runs on the first Sunday of every month. * Times can be dynamic. Arbitrary Guile code can be provided to compute the next time that a job should be run. This could, for example, take system load into consideration. * User's crontabs can stay in their own home directories and each user can maintain multiple crontab files if desired. * Each user can run the daemon for himself if desired, removing the need for setuid programs to manipulate crontabs. -- David D. Smith A man without doubt is a monster.
