May I have a feature check or request for SEC ? I would like to use the '/' in a calendar time and date fields to make it compatible with the cron that Paul Vixie wrote. I wish to have calendar functions that are addressable in steps. The format '*/5 * * * * is much more compact than stating '0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * *'
type=Calendar time=*/5 * * * * desc=examine my piggy bank resources action=spawn /usr/local/bin/CheckPiggyBank Excerpt from crontab(5). Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. Following a range with ‘‘/<number>’’ specifies skips of the number’s value through the range. For example, ‘‘0-23/2’’ can be used in the hours field to spec- ify command execution every other hour (the alternative in the V7 stan- dard is ‘‘0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22’’). Steps are also permitted after an asterisk, so if you want to say ‘‘every two hours’’, just use ‘‘*/2’’. -- Tim Peiffer Network Support Engineer Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota/NorthernLights GigaPOP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
