Maybe in the near future...
|
|
|
|
* Logging.
|
|
|
|
* 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)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* Move the code into modules so that it can be incorporated directly into
|
|
other programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are no plans to actually do the following any time soon...
|
|
|
|
* Develop at and batch modes of operation.
|
|
|
|
* Make compatibilities with other crons (BSD, SYSV, Solaris, Dillon's, ...)
|
|
|
|
* Port to BSD, other operating systems.
|
|
|
|
* Full security audit for Vixie mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quite likely to happen if version 2.0 ever materializes...
|
|
|
|
* Split program into Vixie and mcron separates (should streamline mcron code
|
|
by a factor of three; removes need for security audit).
|
|
|
|
* UNIX or TCP socket will allow interrogation and control of a running
|
|
daemon (should be more reliable, efficient and useful than using the
|
|
SIGHUP-/var/cron/update method).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
May happen if version 2.0 ever materializes...
|
|
|
|
* Add anacron functionality (run missed jobs if the daemon is stopped, for
|
|
example if a personal computer does not run 24 hours a day).
|
|
|
|
* TCP socket to allow control via HTTP (web browser interface). Or maybe
|
|
just CGI personality.
|
|
|
|
* GTK+/Bononbo/Gnome2 interface.
