ncron - issue #7

Periodically check if system time has changed


Posted on Jan 7, 2010 by Quick Horse

If the system time on a host changes during a "sleep period", NCron will not notice the change until the next job is picked up for execution. In an installation where jobs are executed infrequently (hours/days/weeks in between), this might cause jobs to be missed when system time is changed radically (switching to/from DST).

Unix cron engines tend to wake up periodically (even every minute) to recompute distances to next job execution. NCron should have similar behavior, while balancing risk of missing a job with performance.
