▲ 5 ▼ sleepto - An alternative to traditional task schedulers

sleepto is a simple alternative to task schedulers like Cron.

It only handles the timing and doesn't run a daemon like other schedulers do. Instead we encourage you to use your systems default init system (for example Systemd) to control your jobs. This allows you to:

• Use and watch scheduled jobs the way you use all other services running on your system (for example using ps).
• Start and pause jobs like any other service on your system.
• Use your systems default logging system.
• No conflicts - next task is only scheduled after previous one finished.
• Trigger immediate execution by sending a SIGALRM signal.
• Specify execution times with the precision of seconds (Cron only support minutes).
• Always know the time of the next execution.
