- Changes in 1.2
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- It has been pointed out to me that I forgot to specify the default rexx
- extension of ".rexx". Thus, scripts in the form of
-
- foo.rexx
-
- would not be started unless you actually stated :REXX foo.rexx instead of
- being able to use :REXX foo alone.
-
- Also added a semaphore lock in the GetJobNum()/FreeJobNum() routines to
- prevent the job table from possibly being clobbered by EndSystemJob()
- getting called at the same time CyberCron was trying to start another job.
-
- Changes in 1.3
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- It has been requested that CyberCron become sensitive to small changes
- backwards in time. This is usually caused by reloading the system clock
- from the battery backed clock once a day (as the battery backed clock tends
- to keep better time on some machines). Before running the event scan,
- CyberCron will now check to see if time has gone backwards and will delay
- event scans until it reaches the next minute that it would have actually
- run a scan at if the time hadn't shifted backwards. There is a 5 minute
- threshhold limit, however, so if time goes backwards more than that (for
- instance, daylight savings time changes state and you go back an hour) then
- CyberCron assumes you know what you are doing and will use the new time
- without delay.
-
- I also switched the static declarations of struct RDArgs to
- AllocDosObject()/FreeDosObject() pairs. This should help insure that
- CyberCron will run on any future versions of the OS, even if it will be a
- few eons before I actually would have had to worry about this... :-)
