loopD

Simple Deamon that runs your jobs in specified intervals

The intended use is to first create a jobfile that will contain formated jobs using jobmaker.sh, and then launch loopD in the backround forever. It sleeps for a specified interval and then wakes up to execute due jobs, therefore you can add jobs with jobmaker and continue using the same process.

OPTIONS
-h, --help        Prints help.
-j, --jobfile     Path to associated jobfile. (Default jobs in current Dir)
-v, --verbose     Print jobs when being performed.
-i, --inteval     Sets interval in seconds (Default 60 seconds).
-l, --log         Sets logging filepath (Default off).


COMMANDS
start             Starts a scheduling cycle
                  Executes due jobs and sleeps.




Examples of usage:    (loopDeamon.sh -j ~/jobs -i 60 start)&
