go-cron

a cron library for go.

Why create another cron lib

robfig/cron is a very great library for go. But it does have some missing parts.For example:

c := cron.New()
c.AddFunc("0 30 * * * *", func() { fmt.Println("Every hour on the half hour") })
c.AddFunc("@hourly",      func() { fmt.Println("Every hour") })
c.AddFunc("@every 1h30m", func() { fmt.Println("Every hour thirty") })
c.Start()
..
// Funcs are invoked in their own goroutine, asynchronously.
...
// Funcs may also be added to a running Cron
c.AddFunc("@daily", func() { fmt.Println("Every day") })
..
// Inspect the cron job entries' next and previous run times.
inspect(c.Entries())
..
c.Stop()  // Stop the scheduler (does not stop any jobs already running).

The code above is how robfig/cron works. But it's impossible if you want to update a spec of job or remove a specific job. So for these reasons, I decided to create another cron lib based on robfig/cron.
