belg4mit has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
See the first reply to this node for the documentation,
see the second reply for the source.
Peer review of the code
(I am aware of the general distate for capitalized vars; I've gotten better, look at 0.81 or ask wog)
Opinions on other features etc. (especially things listed in TODO.pod)
Need a name and good way of describing -S (currently CRONSOGGY);
-S prevents the use of open(FH, "-|") which is believed
to have an implict fork and is therefore not 100% cross-platform.
Confirmations of functionality on various platforms.
With minimal switches required to work; in order of increasing desperation: -s, -X, -s -S, -X -S.
MacPerl people *cough* ChemBoy *cough*:
You can set your switches via {startup volume}/etc/default/cron.
Offsite copies are also available here: source documentation. The latest version ought to live here.
What I seek with this post:
(I am aware of the general distate for capitalized vars; I've gotten better, look at 0.81 or ask wog)
I'd like to know if you have a platform that supports this but not fork.
With minimal switches required to work; in order of increasing desperation: -s, -X, -s -S, -X -S.
It is known to work on Linux with 5.005_03 and Activestate 628 on Windows 98.
For bug reports please send the output and switches of however you were tying to run it as well as that from: -s -S -U -X -x 15 -L - (+ any other switches you may be using - whatever might conflict with what you're doing (-U if you're root?))
You can set your switches via {startup volume}/etc/default/cron.
