| See the end for copying conditions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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
 | |
|        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...
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * 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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| May happen if version 2.0 ever materializes...
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * UNIX or TCP socket will allow interrogation and control of a running
 | |
|        daemon (unrelated to, or maybe a major enhancement of, socket used for
 | |
|        communication from crontab process).
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * 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
 | |
|        crontab-like CGI personality.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     * GTK+/Bononbo/Gnome2 interface.
