Snooze waits until a particular time and then runs a command.
Together with a service supervision system such as runsv(8) (from
sysutils/runit), this can be used to replace cron(8).
Benefits over cron(8):
- mnemonic syntax
- no overlapping job runs possible
- filtering by ISO week and day of year
- no centralized daemon required (no fuzzing with multiple
users/permissions)
- can easily disable jobs or force their execution
instantly
- have custom logs
- very robust with respect to external time changes
- can use a file timestamp to ensure minimum waiting time between two
runs, even across reboots
- randomized delays
- variable slack
- ad-hoc usage possible, just run the program from command line
===> The following configuration options are available for snooze-0.6:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
