Corn

Corn is a simple command line application to execute periodic tasks.

Installing

Corn binaries are available for Linux and OSX platform on github release page. Or, if you prefer, it can be built from source by executing:

go get github.com/Shuttl-Tech/corn

Usage

Corn can be configured using command line flags. At the moment only command line flags are available and support for environment variables or file based configuration is not on the roadmap.

The sub-command manager relies on two command line flags --cmd and --sched to configure periodic jobs.

These flags can be repeated as many times as desired to specify more than one task. Keep in mind that the order of flags matters in following ways:

1. --cmd flag must be specified before --sched
2. Every --cmd flag must be followed by a --sched flag

Consider, for example, this command that configures corn to execute two tasks:

corn manager --cmd "ls -lh /home" --sched "* * * * *" --cmd "date -u" --sched "*/2 * * * *"

The first task will execute ls -lah /home every minute, and the second one will execute date -u every two minutes.
