Overview
:title:CronEdit - Ruby editior library for cron and crontab - RDoc documentation
CronEdit - Ruby editor library for crontab.
Allows to manipulate crontab from comfortably from ruby code. You can add/modify/remove (aka CRUD) named crontab entries individually with no effect on the rest of your crontab. You can define cron entry definitions as standart text definitions '10 * * * * echo 42' or using Hash notation {:minute=>10, :command=>'echo 42'} (see CronEntry ::DEFAULTS) Additionaly you can parse cron text definitions to Hash.
Usage
Class methods offer quick crontab operations. Three examples:
CronEdit::Crontab.Add 'agent1', '5,35 0-23/2 * * * echo agent1'
CronEdit::Crontab.Add 'agent2', {:minute=>5, :command=>'echo 42'}
CronEdit::Crontab.Remove 'someId'
or define a batch update and list the current content:
cm = CronEdit:Crontab.new 'user'
cm.add 'agent1', '5,35 0-23/2 * * * echo agent1'
...
cm.add 'agent2', {:minute=>5, :command=>'echo 42'}
cm.commit
p cm.list
see Crontab for all available methods
