After somebody will want to receive simultaneous/temperature_starttime and
simultaneous/temperature_stoptime so gradually in OWFS there will be the
crond... :) I do not see sense to complicate OWFS by duplicating functions
of other programs which are available in any Unix.
BTW, on shell it is done within the limits of one program:
------------------------8<-----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
mycrond() {
while : ; do
if [ -f $OneWire/simultaneous/temperature ]; then
echo 1 >$OneWire/simultaneous/temperature
fi
sleep 10
done
}
mycrond &
...
...
