= Sheep Cron

== DESCRIPTION:

Sheep Cron, to be confused with "Cheap Cron", is a poor man's cron. It's a pure Ruby alternative for:
* Times when cron is not available
* People that hates the cron syntax
* Fun and profit

== USAGE:

Scheduling jobs:

SheepCron do |job|
  job.schedule :every => 1.day, :at => '12:00'
  job.run lambda { Sheep.graze }
end

# a little more complete job featuring name and exceptions
SheepCron do |job|
  job.name 'Work'
  job.schedule :every => 1.day, :at => '9am', :except => { |t| t.saturday? || t.sunday? }
  job.run lambda { Sheep.work }
end

# jobs can have multiple schedules too
SheepCron do |job|
  job.schedule :every => 1.week, :at => 'friday, 9pm'
  job.schedule :every => 1.year, :at => '25/12'
  job.run lambda { Sheep.party! }
end

== CONFIGURATION:

SheepCron.configure do |jobs|
  jobs.timeout 60.seconds
end

== INSTALL:

gem install sheep_cron

== I CAN HAS PATCHES?:

* Cron "bridge": accept a crontab to define schedules
* Schedule storage backend
