* documentation: extensive editing of info manual after a note from Paul Vixie....Paul has been in touch to say that the crontab format was not his invention, and that his program was based off of V7's cron's functionality, not later AT&T and Berkeley ones. Thus the mcron manual is edited extensively to emphasise more the POSIX standard crontab format, and to point out a more accurate history of cron developments. * doc/mcron.texi: small changes throughout the document. Dale Mellor2022-01-101-121/+136
* documentation: Bug fix in a simple example....The second example under the manual heading Simple Examples does not work. The call to next-minute-from errs because the second argument must be a list. It can’t be the raw number 15. Thanks to Colton Lewis. * doc/mcron.texi: edited text. Dale Mellor2021-09-031-1/+1
* doc/mcron.texi: Make the manual gender-neutral....Replace his/hers with theirs, etc. *doc/mcron.text: light edits only. Dale Mellor2020-04-201-6/+6
* doc: Fix “Every second Sunday” example...* doc/mcron.texi (Every second Sunday): If the first day of the month is Sunday, then the second Sunday of the month is seven days later not eight. Adam Tack2019-02-111-1/+1
* base: Add '<schedule>' record data type...Reifying the notion of a schedule helps reasoning about the code. Passing a schedule as an argument to related procedures allows writing simpler unit tests. * src/mcron/base.scm(<schedule>): New record data type. (make-schedule, schedule-user, set-schedule-user!) (schedule-system, set-schedule-system!) (schedule-current, set-schedule-current!): New procedures. (system-job-list, user-job-list, configuration-source): Replace those global variables with ... (%global-schedule): ... this global <schedule> instance. * src/mcron/base.scm (use-system-job-list, use-user-job-list) (remove-user-jobs, clear-system-jobs, add-job, find-next-jobs) (display-schedule, run-job-loop): Add '#:SCHEDULE' keyword argument. * doc/mcron.texi (The base module): Update documentation. Mathieu Lirzin2018-03-241-5/+10
* base: Add 'display-schedule' procedure...This procedure is a more generic and less coupled version of 'get-schedule' which has been kept for backward compatibility and deprecated. * src/mcron/base.scm (display-schedule): New procedure. (get-schedule): Move to ... * src/mcron/core.scm: ... here. * src/mcron/scripts/cron.scm (main): Use 'display-schedule'. * src/mcron/scripts/mcron.scm (main): Likewise. * doc/mcron.texi (The base module): Document it. Mathieu Lirzin2018-03-161-2/+5
* doc: Use 'unless' form...* doc/mcron.texi (Invoking cron or crond): Use 'unless' form and put "/etc/crontab" inside a @code command. Mathieu Lirzin2017-09-281-3/+3
* job-specifier: job: Add #:user keyword argument....* src/mcron/job-specifier.scm (job): Add #:user keyword argument. * doc/mcron.texi (Job specification): Document it. Mathieu Lirzin2016-05-071-12/+13
* base: Rename (mcron core) module to (mcron base)....The 'configure' script deletes the 'core.*' files. Having a file named 'base.scm' instead of 'core.scm' simplifies the build process without changing the semantics. * src/mcron/mcron-core.scm: Rename to ... * src/mcron/base.scm: ... this. All module users changed. * Makefile.am (MODULES): Add 'src/mcron/base.scm'. (CP): Remove variable. (src/mcron/core.scm): Remove target. (GEN_MODULES): Remove 'src/mcron/core.scm'. (dist_mcronmodule_DATA): Remove 'src/mcron/mcron-core.scm' * doc/mcron.texi: Adapt to name change. * .gitignore: Update. Mathieu Lirzin2016-05-071-12/+12
* doc: Include a copy of the GNU FDL....* doc/fdl.texi: New file. * doc/mcron.texi: Include it. * makefile.am (doc_mcron_TEXINFOS): New variable. Mathieu Lirzin2016-05-071-0/+6
* build: Fix build of the manual....* mcron.texinfo.in: Rename to ... * doc/mcron.texi: ... this. * doc/config.texi.in: New file. * configure.ac: Adapt to it. * makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * README--git: Likewise. Mathieu Lirzin2016-05-071-0/+1337
