lightspeed-scheduler

An in-process scheduler for periodic jobs. Schedule lets you run Rust functions on a cron-like schedule.

Usage

use schedule::Agenda;
use chrono::Utc;

fn main() {
    let mut a = Agenda::new();

    // Run every second
    a.add(|| {
        println!("at second     :: {}", Utc::now());
        Ok(())
    }).schedule("* * * * * *").unwrap();

    // Run every minute
    a.add(|| {
        println!("at minute     :: {}", Utc::now());
        Ok(())
    }).schedule("0 * * * * *").unwrap();

    // Run every hour
    a.add(|| {
        println!("at hour       :: {}", Utc::now());
        Ok(())
    }).schedule("0 0 * * * *").unwrap();

    // Check and run pending jobs in agenda every 500 milliseconds
    loop {
        a.run_pending();

        std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(500));
    }
}

Cron schedule format

Creating a schedule for a job is done using the FromStr impl for the Schedule type of the cron library.

The scheduling format is as follows:

sec   min   hour   day of month   month   day of week   year
*     *     *      *              *       *             *

Time is specified for UTC and not your local timezone. Note that the year may be omitted.

Comma separated values such as 5,8,10 represent more than one time value. So for example, a schedule of 0 2,14,26 * * * * would execute on the 2nd, 14th, and 26th minute of every hour.

Ranges can be specified with a dash. A schedule of 0 0 * 5-10 * * would execute once per hour but only on day 5 through 10 of the month.

Day of the week can be specified as an abbreviation or the full name. A schedule of 0 0 6 * * Sun,Sat would execute at 6am on Sunday and Saturday.
