README

cronwhip.pl

The included file cronwhip.pl is the original implementation of cronwhip. It is an ugly hackjob that works, and it is included for anyone who does not want to install Python 3 to run the new version. It is no longer maintained but it should continue to work as long as the output of the commands last -x and crontab -l remain unchanged.

CHANGELOG

2012-11-25

  • added service file

2012-02-26

Cronwhip has been converted to a Python 3 module. The module itself is small and can still be used as a stand-alone script, but it can now be used to write other scripts.

The new option --show-missed prints a list of all the missed cronjobs and when they would have been run.
