this pulled repo supports mainly in:

• deprecate cron class in "Cron.h"
• merge ccronexpr to master, use ccronexpr for cron expression time point evaluation
• add an additional id member in task type
• feature of task removing via id
• user friendly cmake file

Scheduler

Modern C++ Header-Only Scheduling Library. Tasks run in thread pool. Requires C++11 and ctpl_stl.h in the path.

Inspired by the Rufus-Scheduler gem. Offers mostly the same functionality.

  #include "Scheduler.h"

  // number of tasks that can run simultaneously
  // Note: not the number of tasks that can be added,
  //       but number of tasks that can be run in parallel
  unsigned int max_n_threads = 12;

  // Make a new scheduling object.
  // Note: s cannot be moved or copied
  Bosma::Scheduler s(max_n_threads);

  // every second call message("every second")
  s.every(1s, message, 0, "every second");

  // in one minute
  s.in(1min, []() { std::cout << "in one minute" << std::endl; }, 0);

  // in one second run lambda, then wait a second, run lambda, and so on
  // different from every in that multiple instances of the function will not be run concurrently
  s.interval(1s, []() {
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(5s);
    std::cout << "once every 6s" << std::endl;
  }, 0);

  s.every(1min, []() { std::cout << "every minute" << std::endl; }, 0);

  // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron
  s.ccron("* * * * * *", []() { std::cout << "top of every minute" << std::endl; }, 0);

  // Time formats supported:
  // %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S, %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S, %H:%M:%S
  // With only a time given, it will run tomorrow if that time has already passed.
  // But with a date given, it will run immediately if that time has already passed.
  s.at("2017-04-19 12:31:15", []() { std::cout << "at a specific time." << std::endl; }, 0);

  s.ccron("* 5 0 * * *", []() { std::cout << "every day 5 minutes after midnight" << std::endl; }, 0);

  // add cron task with id = 10.
  s.ccron("*/5 * * * * *", []() { std::cout << "every 5 seconds" << std::endl; }, 10);
  sleep(20);
  // remove cron task with id = 10
  s.remove_task(10);
