The [http://pthbb.org/software/crond/latest|latest version] ought to live here. What I seek with this post: <li>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])</li> <li>Opinions on other features etc. (especially things listed in TODO.pod)</li> <li>Need a name and good way of describing -S (currently CRONSOGGY); -S prevents the use of <code>open(FH, "-|")</code> which is believed to have an implict fork and is therefore not 100% cross-platform. I'd like to know if you have a platform that supports this but not fork.</li> <li>Confirmations of functionality on various platforms. 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?))</li> <li>MacPerl people *cough* [ChemBoy] *cough*: You can set your switches via {startup volume}/etc/default/cron.</li> <code> -- perl -p -e "s/(?:\w);(<A HREF="/index.pl?node=st&lastnode_id=479">st</A>)/'\$1/mg" </code>
