Help Message

$ cronwhip --help

usage: cronwhip [-h] [-n] [-v] [--start START] [--end END]
                [--interval INTERVAL] [--show-missed] [--skip <filepath>]
                [--crontab <filepath>]

Run missed cronjobs that would have been run while the system was down. It
should be run once right after startup.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n, --dry-run         Print the list of cronjobs that would be run.
  -v, --verbose         Switch to verbose mode.
  --start START         Start of missed interval. If none is given, the system
                        shutdown time recorded in wtmp will be used.
  --end END             End of missed interval. If none is given, the system
                        reboot time recorded in wtmp will be used.
  --interval INTERVAL   The length of the missed interval, in hours. Non-
                        integer values are allowed. The interval is calculated
                        from the start time, unless the "end" option is given
                        without the "start" option. For example, use "--end
                        now --interval 2" to run all jobs from the last 2
                        hours."
  --show-missed         Show the list of missed cronjobs.
  --skip <filepath>     A list of jobs, one per line, that should not be run.
                        Only the command should be included on the line.
  --crontab <filepath>  A file containing a list of jobs in crontab format.
                        Use "-" to parse STDIN.

The start and end times may be given with the format "YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM" or as
"now", "shutdown" or "reboot".
