Thanks You could strace on it to see what system calls it makes, but I am pretty sure it sets up a timer interrupt and then waits for an event. Very efficient. It does not, for example, continually read the clock until the requested amount of time has passed. The more interesting question is this. If you coded something like: while true; do x; sleep 60; done are you ok with x starting more than 60 seconds apart, because the time to execute x itself, to fork and wait for the processes, etc., gets added into each iteration? If you prefer the invocations of x start at the start of each minute, then you need to calculate, on each iteration, how long to sleep.

Setup cron service by running /usr/sbin/cron-config as elevated admin. Then use crontab to schedule scripts every so often or at specific times or days. Install package and read man pages or see the current package repo: https://github.com/vixie/cron/blob/master/crontab.5 -- Take care.

Re: [Attn. MAINTAINERS] Heads up: Perl 5.36.1 is imminent

I've skipped 5.34 in order to update only every second year (which I've done since the 5.22 release). I haven't seen any trouble in my own Perl distribution packages from the update even though there are lots of them that haven't been updated since at least 5.22. So I hope it will be smooth sailing for anything else depending on Perl also. Any maintainer having packages that depend on perl5_032 should re-release or upgrade these soon-ish after the Perl update is available, as otherwise users are either blocked from upgrading Perl or will have to uninstall the affected packages. The rebuilt packages need to have a dependency on perl5_036, which cygport provides automatically. There's an updated report available [1], which should list the affected packages. [1] https://cygwin.com/packages/reports/perl_rebuilds.html Hi Jari, Is it possible to get a rebuild/update of pristine-tar and sendxmpp for perl5.36? Ping? Please indicate if these packages will be updated, or should be removed.
