(bin_PROGRAMS): Add 'crontab'. (sbin_PROGRAMS): Add 'cron'. (mcron_CFLAGS, mcron_LDADD): Rename to ... (AM_CFLAGS, LDADD): ... these. (cron_SOURCES, cron_CPPFLAGS, cron_DEPENDENCIES) (crontab_SOURCES, crontab_CPPFLAGS, crontab_DEPENDENCIES) (mcron_CPPFLAGS, mcronscriptdir, dist_mcronscript_DATA): New variables. (modules): Redefine it in terms of other '_DATA' variables. * src/mcron/crontab.scm: Remove file. * src/mcron/main.scm (parse-args): New procedure. (command-name, command-type, options): Remove.

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.
|
|
|
|
* Provide a test suite using SRFI-64 API.
|
|
<http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-64/srfi-64.html>.
|
|
|
|
* Internationalize Mcron using GNU Gettext and ask the Translation
|
|
Project to handle the localization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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+/d-bus/Gnome3 interface.
