uscheduled - a job scheduler
uscheduled [-d DIR]
uscheduled reads information about a number of jobs from DIR, or, if this is not given, from ~/.uschedule/.
It then sleeps until one or more of the jobs have to be run, at which point it will try to run and either reschedule or delete them.
uscheduled runs under the rights of the user for whom the programs are started. It changes to DIR on startup and runs in an own session. It doesn’t detach from the terminal or move itself into the background.
All time calculation is done in UTC.
If uscheduled needs to start a job the following will be done:
uscheduled exits gracefully on SIGTERM. It reloads the job specifications on SIGHUP.
