Clokwerk, a simple scheduler
Clokwerk is a simple scheduler, inspired by Python's Schedule and Ruby's clockwork. It uses a similar DSL for scheduling, rather than parsing cron strings.
By default, times and dates are relative to the local timezone, but the scheduler can be made to use a
different timezone using the Scheduler::with_tz
constructor.
Since version 0.4, Clokwerk has also supported a separate AsyncScheduler
, which can easily run asynchronous tasks concurrently.
Usage
// Scheduler, and trait for .seconds(), .minutes(), etc.
use clokwerk::{Scheduler, TimeUnits};
// Import week days and WeekDay
use clokwerk::Interval::*;
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
// Create a new scheduler
let mut scheduler = Scheduler::new();
// or a scheduler with a given timezone
let mut scheduler = Scheduler::with_tz(chrono::Utc);
// Add some tasks to it
scheduler.every(10.minutes()).plus(30.seconds()).run(|| println!("Periodic task"));
scheduler.every(1.day()).at("3:20 pm").run(|| println!("Daily task"));
scheduler.every(Tuesday).at("14:20:17").and_every(Thursday).at("15:00").run(|| println!("Biweekly task"));
// Manually run the scheduler in an event loop
for _ in 1..10 {
scheduler.run_pending();
thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
}
// Or run it in a background thread
let thread_handle = scheduler.watch_thread(Duration::from_millis(100));
// The scheduler stops when `thread_handle` is dropped, or `stop` is called
thread_handle.stop();
See documentation for additional examples of usage.
Similar libraries
- schedule-rs and job_scheduler are two other Rust scheduler libraries. Both use
cron
syntax for scheduling.
