GCalCron Automates Your Linux System with Google Calendar
- zandorg 18y agoI once tried to get a program to run on startup in Suse Linux. Guess what? After a couple of hours, messing around with 'runlevels', and no clear way of doing it, I gave up and went back to the 'Startup' menu in Windows. This software sounds an excellent, easier way of automatically running programs.
- buugs 18y agoHere's the homepage: http://www.pfspear.net/projects/gcalcron http://www.pfspear.net/projects/gcalcron This seems like an interesting experiment I think it could possible have implementations without google, such as a standard web-gui for those people that don't like ssh-ing in to schedule a task and such. Edit: I read one of the screenshots on the site, the cool thing in it was lights - on or w.e for an automated house now that is really cool to be able to schedule something like that in a simple interface for non-computer savvy people. Although it is unlikely they would have an automated house running off of a server.
- njharman 18y agoCL junkie so no interest in this project. But doing what it does in reverse would be great for my work. We have numerous business critical b2b batch jobs kicked off by cron. It would be pretty cool if each one posted start/stop/endstatus to a gocal. Interested parties could see nightly and historical activity. Also 1/2 decent visualization for understanding the order/interrelatedness.
- wooby 18y agoHm, yes - it would be interesting to turn crontabs directly into .ics files for export into Google Calendar or iCal.
