# cron_runner
Use the Job trait to define Jobs on your structs, pass the jobs to the Runner and start it with run().
The Runner will spawn a main "monitoring" thread to schedule your jobs, and additional worker threads to run your jobs.
## The Runner can run in 2 modes.
##### Pooled
Spawn it with n > 0 threads and those threads will live in a thread pool waiting for new jobs from a mpsc channel ( in this context used like a FIFO queue).
While the worker threads are waiting, they are blocked on recv().
If all workers are busy new jobs will not be run untill a worker is free, the first job to be scheduled is the first to be picked up and run by a worker.
##### Non Pooled
If you start the runner with 0 worker threads, any time a job should run a new thread will be spawned for the job that will execute it and return.
If for some reason a worker could not be spawned, the Runner will try to run the job in its main thread, blocking scheduling for the rest of the jobs untill it is done.
## Example
```
use cron_runner::{Job, Runner, Schedule};
struct PrintJob {
message: String,
}
impl Job for PrintJob {
fn execute(&self) {
println!("{}", self.message);
}
fn schedule(&self) -> Schedule {
"0 * * * * *".parse().unwrap()
}
}
fn main() {
let mut runner = Runner::new(2);
runner.add_job(Box::new(PrintJob {
message: "Print job".to_string(),
}));
runner.run();
loop {
std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(5));
}
}
```
