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.
