* Check POSIX compliance (should be okay if Vixie cron was okay).

|
* Work out how to give each user his own closure (or environment or module
|
|
|
|
|
or continuation) for his configuration files so that he can't mess the
|
|
|
|
|
core or other users' files up. Then allow scheme code in the system
|
|
|
|
|
crontabs.

There are no plans to actually do the following any time soon...
|
2003-07-04 08:09:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* Develop at and batch modes of operation.

|
|
|
|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* Make compatibilities with other crons (BSD, SYSV, Solaris, Dillon's, ...)
|

|
|
|
|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* Port to BSD, other operating systems.

|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00

May happen if version 2.0 ever materializes...

|
* UNIX or TCP socket will allow interrogation and control of a running
|
2003-08-03 15:14:54 +00:00
|
|
|
daemon (unrelated to, or maybe a major enhancement of, socket used for
|
|
|
|
|
communication from crontab process).

|
|
|
|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* Add anacron functionality (run missed jobs if the daemon is stopped, for
|
2003-07-04 08:09:04 +00:00
|
|
|
example if a personal computer does not run 24 hours a day).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-20 15:52:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* TCP socket to allow control via HTTP (web browser interface). Or maybe
|
2003-08-03 15:14:54 +00:00
|
|
|
crontab-like CGI personality.

|
|
* GTK+/Bononbo/Gnome2 interface.
