version 1.98
(12 August 1997)
──────────────────────────────
- Tool MKSEM.EXE added. This little tool doesn't do much, it just
make a file semaphore so you don't have to write a cmd-file for doing
this (f.e. with an "echo . >semaphore" in it).
- email support:
WarpCron sends a email...
on start of program
on end of program
on unnormal exit (trap)
And WarpCron can send you today's logfile via email every day.
See warpcron.cfg for details.
- 4os2 support:
if COMSPEC points to 4os2, WarpCron will use it.
You can use .btm-files just like every .exe-file then.
- you can force WarpCron to run in 25-lines or 50-lines mode with
LargeScreen true; or
SmallScreen true;
- key 'w' shows last date/time of config file and its size
version 1.95beta
(5 May 1997)
──────────────────────────────
- WarpCron can check its config for changes automatically.
Keyword "CheckConfig;" in warpcron.cfg activates this.
- You can edit the config file directly out of WarpCron with
your prefered editor via key "c" and keyword "Editor <your
editor>;".
Be warned. This is quite a fast hack, and it seems that it
just runs with textmode editor, not with PM.
If you really need a PM editor.. write me and I will rewrite
this part.
- WarpCron can start events at startup and/or end.
Keywords "RunAtStartup" and "RunAtEnd" in an event block.
version 1.94
(18 Apr 1997)
──────────────────────────────
- if StartRelated is true, WarpCron writes the PID of a started
program to logfile
- kill-events (type "k") and keyword "StartRelated"
If "StartRelated" is true WarpCron will start every program as
a child process and can kill that process with an event type "k".
See example 7 in warpcron.cfg for or keywords "StartRelated" and
"event type k" in warpcron.cfg.
- "min" true/false in event configuration.
With "min true" warpcron will start the program of the event
minimized.
version 1.93beta
(02 Apr 1997)
──────────────────────────────
nothing, just bug fixing.
version 1.92beta
(01 Apr 1997)
──────────────────────────────
nothing, just bug fixing.
Features added by version 1.9beta
(20 mar 1997)
──────────────────────────────
- very much code is completely rewritten.
I can implement new features much easier now :-). And WarpCron is much
faster, too.
- ExcludeTimes for an event
- unmissable events
- DenyPath
- SemDelay
- pid-file
- show a event with all parameters (key "e")
Features added by version 1.5b3
(14 feb 1997)
───────────────────────────────
- running an event JUST on semaphore, not on any time.
Just leave the time-statement away in the event-block.
See example 6 in warpcron.cfg.
Features added by version 1.5ß
(08 january 1997)
───────────────────────────────
- cmd's are started with a '/c' after the 'start'-command.
This means that you don't need an 'exit' in your cmd's anymore.
CMDs are terminated automatically now.
- News cfg-statement:
LogFile <path\logfile>
specifies a special name and path for the logfile.
Note: normally the normal statement 'LogPath' is sufficient.
- logging can be turned off/on during runtime now
- path to the warpcron.cfg can be given by the start parameter
'-c<configfile'
Try 'warpcron ?' for more info.
- WarpCron can be terminated by a semaphore.
-> statement 'EndSem' in the config.
- an event can be manually started.
Try key 's'.
Note: you have 10 second to enter an event number, otherwise WarpCron goes
back to its work automatically.
- WarpCron changes to the correct program directory of cmd's now, too.
Features added by version 1.47
(09 December 1996)
──────────────────────────────
- WarpCron can start DOS-session now directly
Write 'ProgramType D;' for fullscreen and 'ProgramType d;' for window
I don't know if this works with Windoze-programs too... but:
who care's anyway? ;-)
- exeption handling if logfile does not exists anymore
- help screen
- toggle between short event-infos (as usual) or long infos with
program, type and parameters
Features added by version 1.45ß
───────────────────────────────
- WarpCron can read its warpcron.cfg again on runtime when
- a special semaphore exists (0 byte file)
- every X hour
- on key 'r'
- WarpCron searches its warpcron.cfg in the etc-directory which is
defined by the "set etc=..." statement of OS/2 TCP/IP.
- signtime default is now 24 hours.
- you can write the event name right after the event keyword, for example:
event MyEvent;
bla bla;
end;
- The screen repaints only after an event launch now. This saves a little
CPU-Time and looks nicer ;-)
Features added by version 1.42ß
(08 October 1996)
───────────────────────────────
- Textcolor and backcolor
- "next event to schedule"
- new sorting of events
Features added by version 1.41ß
(30 September 1996)
───────────────────────────────
- Logfile in binkley-style
- signtime
Features added by version 1.4
(25 September 1996)
──────────────────────────────
- calculating the RunEveryX... from TIME/DATE up to the actual time/date.
For example: you write 'RUNEVERYXDAY 4' and 'DATE 2.03.1994'; then
WarpCron will calculate the next valid day to run from the 2.03.1994.
Or: 'RUNEVERYXMIN 120' (two hours) and 'TIME 02:15'.
You start WarpCron at 12:40, then the event will start at 14:15, 16:15 and
so on.
- semaphores for an event.
For example: you write for event 'beam me up' a 'SEMPATH e:\ipc\mail_in.ipc'
and 'TIME 14:42'.
Then the event 'beam me up' will start on 14:42 OR when the file
e:\ipc\mail_in.ipc exists.
- <no name> as name-default
- CTRL+BREAK will not corrupt the logfile
- 'q' quits every time now
- special path for the logfile
- WarpCron changes to 50-lines mode if >18 events
- you can lock an event for writing into the logfile
Features added by version 1.3x
(5 September 1996)
───────────────────────────────
- RunEveryXDays
- RunEveryXMonths
- changes to the program's directory before starting it
- run on a specific date
- weekdays default to true
