=head1 NAME

Cron - cron-like scheduler for Perl subroutines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Schedule::Cron;

  # Subroutines to be called
  sub dispatcher { 
    print "ID:   ",shift,"\n"; 
    print "Args: ","@_","\n";
  }

  sub check_links { 
    # do something... 
  }

  # Create new object with default dispatcher
  my $cron = new Schedule::Cron(\&dispatcher);

  # Load a crontab file
  $cron->load_crontab("/var/spool/cron/perl");

  # Add dynamically  crontab entries
  $cron->add_entry("3 4  * * *",ROTATE => "apache","sendmail");
  $cron->add_entry("0 11 * * Mon-Fri",\&check_links);

  # Run scheduler 
  $cron->run(detach=>1);
                   

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple but complete cron like scheduler.  I.e this
module can be used for periodically executing Perl subroutines.  The dates and
parameters for the subroutines to be called are specified with a format known
as crontab entry (see L<"METHODS">, C<add_entry()> and L<crontab(5)>)

The philosophy behind C<Schedule::Cron> is to call subroutines periodically
from within one single Perl program instead of letting C<cron> trigger several
(possibly different) Perl scripts. Everything under one roof.  Furthermore,
C<Schedule::Cron> provides mechanism to create crontab entries dynamically,
which isn't that easy with C<cron>.

C<Schedule::Cron> knows about all extensions (well, at least all extensions I'm
aware of, i.e those of the so called "Vixie" cron) for crontab entries like
ranges including 'steps', specification of month and days of the week by name,
or coexistence of lists and ranges in the same field.  It even supports a bit
more (like lists and ranges with symbolic names).

=item $cron = new Schedule::Cron($dispatcher,[extra args])

Creates a new C<Cron> object.  C<$dispatcher> is a reference to a subroutine,
which will be called by default.  C<$dispatcher> will be invoked with the
arguments parameter provided in the crontab entry if no other subroutine is
specified. This can be either a single argument containing the argument
parameter literally has string (default behavior) or a list of arguments when
using the C<eval> option described below.

The date specifications must be either provided via a crontab like file or
added explicitly with C<add_entry()> (L<"add_entry">).

I<extra_args> can be a hash or hash reference for additional arguments.  The
following parameters are recognized:

=over

=item file => <crontab>  


Load the crontab entries from <crontab>

=item eval =>  1

Eval the argument parameter in a crontab entry before calling the subroutine
(instead of literally calling the dispatcher with the argument parameter as
string)

=item nofork => 1

Don't fork when starting the scheduler. Instead, the jobs are executed within
current process. In your executed jobs, you have full access to the global
variables of your script and hence might influence other jobs running at a
different time. This behaviour is fundamentally different to the 'fork' mode,
where each jobs gets its own process and hence a B<copy> of the process space,
independent of each other job and the main process. This is due to the nature
of the  C<fork> system call. 

=item nostatus =>  1

Do not update status in $0.  Set this if you don't want ps to reveal the internals
of your application, including job argument lists.  Default is 0 (update status).

=item skip => 1

Skip any pending jobs whose time has passed. This option is only useful in
combination with C<nofork> where a job might block the execution of the
following jobs for quite some time. By default, any pending job is executed
even if its scheduled execution time has already passed. With this option set
to true all pending which would have been started in the meantime are skipped. 

=item catch => 1

Catch any exception raised by a job. This is especially useful in combination with
the C<nofork> option to avoid stopping the main process when a job raises an
exception (dies).

=item after_job => \&after_sub

Call a subroutine after a job has been run. The first argument is the return
value of the dispatched job, the reminding arguments are the arguments with
which the dispatched job has been called.

Example:

   my $cron = new Schedule::Cron(..., after_job => sub {
          my ($ret,@args) = @_;
          print "Return value: ",$ret," - job arguments: (",join ":",@args,")\n";
   });

=item log => \&log_sub

Install a logging subroutine. The given subroutine is called for several events
during the lifetime of a job. This method is called with two arguments: A log
level of 0 (info),1 (warning) or 2 (error) depending on the importance of the
message and the message itself.

For example, you could use I<Log4perl> (L<http://log4perl.sf.net>) for logging
purposes for example like in the following code snippet:

   use Log::Log4perl;
   use Log::Log4perl::Level;

   my $log_method = sub {
      my ($level,$msg) = @_;
      my $DBG_MAP = { 0 => $INFO, 1 => $WARN, 2 => $ERROR };

      my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger("My::Package");
      $logger->log($DBG_MAP->{$level},$msg);
   }
  
   my $cron = new Schedule::Cron(.... , log => $log_method);

=item loglevel => <-1,0,1,2>

Restricts logging to the specified severity level or below.  Use 0 to have all
messages generated, 1 for only warnings and errors and 2 for errors only.
Default is 0 (all messages).  A loglevel of -1 (debug) will include job
argument lists (also in $0) in the job start message logged with a level of 0
or above. You may have security concerns with this. Unless you are debugging,
use 0 or higher. A value larger than 2 will disable logging completely.

Although you can filter in your log routine, generating the messages can be
expensive, for example if you pass arguments pointing to large hashes.  Specifying
a loglevel avoids formatting data that your routine would discard.

=item processprefix => <name>

Cron::Schedule sets the process' name (i.e. C<$0>) to contain some informative
messages like when the next job executes or with which arguments a job is
called. By default, the prefix for this labels is C<Schedule::Cron>. With this
option you can set it to something different. You can e.g. use C<$0> to include
the original process name.  You can inhibit this with the C<nostatus> option, and
prevent the argument display by setting C<loglevel> to zero or higher.

=item sleep => \&hook

If specified, &hook will be called instead of sleep(), with the time to sleep
in seconds as first argument and the Schedule::Cron object as second.  This hook
allows you to use select() instead of sleep, so that you can handle IO, for
example job requests from a network connection.

e.g.

  $cron->run( { sleep => \&sleep_hook, nofork => 1 } );

  sub sleep_hook {
    my ($time, $cron) = @_;

    my ($rin, $win, $ein) = ('','','');
    my ($rout, $wout, $eout);
    vec($rin, fileno(STDIN), 1) = 1;
    my ($nfound, $ttg) = select($rout=$rin, $wout=$win, $eout=$ein, $time);
    if ($nfound) {
	   handle_io($rout, $wout, $eout);
    }
    return;
}

=item $cron->load_crontab($file)

=item $cron->load_crontab(file=>$file,[eval=>1])

Loads and parses the crontab file C<$file>. The entries found in this file will
be B<added> to the current time table with C<$cron-E<gt>add_entry>.

The format of the file consists of cron commands containing of lines with at
least 5 columns, whereas the first 5 columns specify the date.  The rest of the
line (i.e columns 6 and greater) contains the argument with which the
dispatcher subroutine will be called.  By default, the dispatcher will be
called with one single string argument containing the rest of the line
literally.  Alternatively, if you call this method with the optional argument
C<eval=E<gt>1> (you must then use the second format shown above), the rest of
the line will be evaled before used as argument for the dispatcher.

For the format of the first 5 columns, please see L<"add_entry">.

Blank lines and lines starting with a C<#> will be ignored. 

There's no way to specify another subroutine within the crontab file.  All
calls will be made to the dispatcher provided at construction time.

If    you   want    to    start   up    fresh,    you   should    call
C<$cron-E<gt>clean_timetable()> before.

Example of a crontab fiqw(le:)

   # The following line runs on every Monday at 2:34 am
   34 2 * * Mon  "make_stats"
   # The next line should be best read in with an eval=>1 argument
   *  * 1 1 *    { NEW_YEAR => '1',HEADACHE => 'on' }

=item $cron->add_entry($timespec,[arguments])

Adds a new entry to the list of scheduled cron jobs.

B<Time and Date specification>

C<$timespec> is the specification of the scheduled time in crontab format
(L<crontab(5)>) which contains five mandatory time and date fields and an
optional 6th column. C<$timespec> can be either a plain string, which contains
a whitespace separated time and date specification.  Alternatively,
C<$timespec> can be a reference to an array containing the five elements for
the date fields.

The time and date fields are (taken mostly from L<crontab(5)>, "Vixie" cron): 

   field          values
   =====          ======
   minute         0-59
   hour           0-23
   day of month   1-31 
   month          1-12 (or as names)
   day of week    0-7 (0 or 7 is Sunday, or as names)
   seconds        0-59 (optional)

 A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for
 ``first-last''.

 Ranges of numbers are  allowed.  Ranges are two numbers
 separated  with  a  hyphen.   The  specified  range  is
 inclusive.   For example, 8-11  for an  ``hours'' entry
 specifies execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11.

 Lists  are allowed.   A list  is a  set of  numbers (or
 ranges)  separated by  commas.   Examples: ``1,2,5,9'',
 ``0-4,8-12''.

 Step  values can  be used  in conjunction  with ranges.
 Following a range with ``/<number>'' specifies skips of
 the  numbers value  through the  range.   For example,
 ``0-23/2'' can  be used in  the hours field  to specify
 command execution every  other hour (the alternative in
 the V7 standard is ``0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22'').
 Steps are  also permitted after an asterisk,  so if you
 want to say ``every two hours'', just use ``*/2''.

 Names can also  be used for the ``month''  and ``day of
 week''  fields.  Use  the  first three  letters of  the
 particular day or month (case doesn't matter).

 Note: The day of a command's execution can be specified
       by two fields  -- day of month, and  day of week.
       If both fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the
       command will be run when either field matches the
       current  time.  For  example, ``30  4 1,15  * 5''
       would cause a command to be run at 4:30 am on the
       1st and 15th of each month, plus every Friday

Examples:

 "8  0 * * *"         ==> 8 minutes after midnight, every day
 "5 11 * * Sat,Sun"   ==> at 11:05 on each Saturday and Sunday
 "0-59/5 * * * *"     ==> every five minutes
 "42 12 3 Feb Sat"    ==> at 12:42 on 3rd of February and on 
                          each Saturday in February
 "32 11 * * * 0-30/2" ==> 11:32:00, 11:32:02, ... 11:32:30 every 
                          day

In addition, ranges or lists of names are allowed. 

An optional sixth column can be used to specify the seconds within the
minute. If not present, it is implicitly set to "0".

B<Command specification>

The subroutine to be executed when the C<$timespec> matches can be
specified in several ways.

First, if the optional C<arguments> are lacking, the default dispatching
subroutine provided at construction time will be called without arguments.

If the second parameter to this method is a reference to a subroutine, this
subroutine will be used instead of the dispatcher.

Any additional parameters will be given as arguments to the subroutine to be
executed.  You can also specify a reference to an array instead of a list of
parameters.

You can also use a named parameter list provided as an hashref.  The named
parameters recognized are:

=over

=item subroutine      

=item sub 

Reference to subroutine to be executed

=item arguments

=item args

Reference to array containing arguments to be use when calling the subroutine

=item eval

If true, use the evaled string provided with the C<arguments> parameter.  The
evaluation will take place immediately (not when the subroutine is going to be
called)

=item @entries = $cron->list_entries()

Return a list of cron entries. Each entry is a hash reference of the following
form:

  $entry = { 
             time => $timespec,
             dispatch => $dispatcher,
             args => $args_ref
           }

Here C<$timespec> is the specified time in crontab format as provided to
C<add_entry>, C<$dispatcher> is a reference to the dispatcher for this entry
and C<$args_ref> is a reference to an array holding additional arguments (which
can be an empty array reference). For further explanation of this arguments
refer to the documentation of the method C<add_entry>.

The order index of each entry can be used within C<update_entry>, C<get_entry>
and C<delete_entry>. But be aware, when you are deleting an entry, that you
have to refetch the list, since the order will have changed.

Note that these entries are returned by value and were obtained from the
internal list by a deep copy. I.e. you are free to modify it, but this won't
influence the original entries. Instead use C<update_entry> if you need to
modify an existing crontab entry.

=item $cron->run([options])

This method starts the scheduler.

When called without options, this method will never return and executes the
scheduled subroutine calls as needed.

Alternatively, you can detach the main scheduler loop from the current process
(daemon mode). In this case, the pid of the forked scheduler process will be
returned.

The C<options> parameter specifies the running mode of C<Schedule::Cron>.  It
can be either a plain list which will be interpreted as a hash or it can be a
reference to a hash. The following named parameters (keys of the provided hash)
are recognized:

=over

=item detach    

If set to a true value the scheduler process is detached from the current
process (UNIX only).

=item pid_file  

If running in daemon mode, name the optional file, in which the process id of
the scheduler process should be written. By default, no PID File will be
created.

=item nofork, skip, catch, log, loglevel, nostatus, sleep

See C<new()> for a description of these configuration parameters, which can be
provided here as well. Note, that the options given here overrides those of the
constructor.

Examples:

   # Start  scheduler, detach  from current  process and
   # write  the  PID  of  the forked  scheduler  to  the
   # specified file
   $cron->run(detach=>1,pid_file=>"/var/run/scheduler.pid");

=item $cron->get_next_execution_time($cron_entry,[$ref_time])

Well, this is mostly an internal method, but it might be useful on 
its own. 

The purpose of this method is to calculate the next execution time
from a specified crontab entry

Parameters:

=over

=item $cron_entry  

The crontab entry as specified in L<"add_entry">

=item $ref_time    

The reference time for which the next time should be searched which matches
C<$cron_entry>. By default, take the current time

=back

This method returns the number of epoch-seconds of the next matched 
date for C<$cron_entry>.

Since I suspect, that this calculation of the next execution time might
fail in some circumstances (bugs are lurking everywhere ;-) an
additional interactive method C<bug()> is provided for checking
crontab entries against your expected output. Refer to the
top-level README for additional usage information for this method.

=head1 DST ISSUES

Daylight saving occurs typically twice a year: In the first switch, one hour is
skipped. Any job which triggers in this skipped hour will be fired in the
next hour. So, when the DST switch goes from 2:00 to 3:00 a job which is
scheduled for 2:43 will be executed at 3:43.

For the reverse backwards switch later in the year, the behaviour is
undefined. Two possible behaviours can occur: For jobs triggered in short
intervals, where the next execution time would fire in the extra hour as well,
the job could be executed again or skipped in this extra hour. Currently,
running C<Schedule::Cron> in C<MET> would skip the extra job, in C<PST8PDT> it
would execute a second time. The reason is the way how L<Time::ParseDate>
calculates epoch times for dates given like C<02:50:00 2009/10/25>. Should it
return the seconds since 1970 for this time happening 'first', or for this time
in the extra hour ? As it turns out, L<Time::ParseDate> returns the epoch time
of the first occurrence for C<PST8PDT> and for C<MET> it returns the second
occurrence. Unfortunately, there is no way to specify I<which> entry
L<Time::ParseDate> should pick (until now). Of course, after all, this is
obviously not L<Time::ParseDate>'s fault, since a simple date specification
within the DST backswitch period B<is> ambiguous. However, it would be nice if
the parsing behaviour of L<Time::ParseDate> would be consistent across time
zones (a ticket has be raised for fixing this). Then L<Schedule::Cron>'s
behaviour within a DST backward switch would be consistent as well.

Since changing the internal algorithm which worked now for over ten years would
be too risky and I don't see any simple solution for this right now, it is
likely that this I<undefined> behaviour will exist for some time. Maybe some
hero is coming along and will fix this, but this is probably not me ;-)

Sorry for that.
