World's Smallest Perl Archive

Hmm...haven't updated this for a while have I? Apologies to anyone who has tried to contact me during the last year and discovered that the email address was invalid. The address below will now work..

cron.pl

(Last Update: 21st January 2000.)

A simple emulation for the Unix cron utility. (Written by Scott McMahan.)

It now allows ranges in date and time fields, and has improved handling of long running tasks. (Thanks to Steve Vance for both updates.)

It can be run from the command line, or as a Windows NT Service. See this note by Eric Smith.

cronlog-rotate.pl

A routine to archive the log files produced by cron.pl. Written by Eric Smith

cron_win32.zip
(Last Update: 13th March 2000.)

A newer version of cron, with a lot of enhancements and a more modular structure. This has been contributed by Rick D. Strickland, who considers it to be Alpha code. Rick is still working on this, and I will post updates here as I receive them.

Please send all updates (or suggestions for improvements) to bryn.truscott@tamartech.com.
