#!/usr/bin/perl #Time-stamp: "2001-07-29 16:07:28 MDT" my $VERSION = '0.71'; require 5.00404; # I don't think there's (?: ... ) before that. =head1 NAME crontab2english -- explain crontab commands in English =head1 SYNOPSIS Usage: % crontab2english [-f] files... Or: % cat files... | crontab2english If you do just this: % crontab2english then it's the same as crontab -l | crontab2english Example output: % crontab2english | less Setting env var MAILTO to hulahoops@polygon.int Command: (line 2) Run: /bin/csh -c 'perl ~/thang.pl | mail -s hujambo root' At: 8:10am on the 15th of every month Command: (line 5) Run: df -k At: 5:40am every day Command: (line 7) Run: ls -l /tmp At: 6:50am every Monday Or with the -f ("f" for filter) switch, it just adds comments to the input file: % crontab2english -f | less # My happy crontab file MAILTO=hulahoops@polygon.int 10 8 15 * * /bin/csh -c 'perl ~/thang.pl | mail -s hujambo root' #> At: 8:10am on the 15th of every month 40 5 * * * df -k #> At: 5:40am every day 50 6 * * 1 ls -l /tmp #> At: 6:50am every Monday =head1 DESCRIPTION It's easy to make mistakes in crontab files. Running C<crontab2english> on your crontab files and reading the resulting English explanations will help you catch errors. =head1 SWITCHES C<-f> puts this in "filter mode" -- the output is just the input plus commentary. C<-v> describes the current C<crontab2english> version to STDOUT and exits. C<-p> forces POSIX-only mode: anything not allowed in the POSIX crontab spec won't be understood. C<-e> (usually default) turns off POSIX-only mode: i.e., it doesn't feign ignorance of things not in the POSIX spec. C<--> signals end of switches. =head1 ENVIRONMENT If the evironment variables C<POSIXLY_CORRECT> and/or C<POSIX_ME_HARDER> are true, then this turns on C<-p> (POSIX-only) mode by default. That's overrideable with the C<-e> switch. =head1 CAVEATS I've tried to make this program understand all the kinds of crontab lines that are out there. That probably includes a few kinds of lines that your particular cron daemon doesn't understand, so just because crontab2english understands something doesn't mean your cron daemon will. Pragmatically, however, there seem to be three kinds of cron daemons around these days: =over =item * Ones based on old (1993ish) Vixie crontab. These understand all of POSIX, and more. This is what almost almost everyone runs these days. =item * Ones that understand I<only> what the POSIX crontab spec allows -- which excludes all sorts of amenities including: stepped ranges ("1-9/2"), "VAR=NAME" lines, English month or day abbreviations ("mon" or "jan"), day 7 meaning "Sunday", and "*/3" meaning "every third...". =item * Even more recent (post-1993ish) Vixies. These seem relatively rare. They seem to be just like old Vixies, plus they understand at-words like "@annually", "@reboot", etc. (altho in some cases, those aren't mentioned in the docs!). =back There I<could> be some ancient or demented pre-Vixie non-POSIX crons running somewhere. One hopes that these would all basically understand anything that POSIX does (and possibly nothing more?), but you just might find peculiarities including: =over =item * Rejecting 0 for Sunday, and accepting only 7. =item * Rejecting 7 for Sunday, and accepting only 0. =item * Accepting lists I<or> ranges, but no lists that include ranges. I.e., allowing "7,8,9", allowing "1-3", but I<not> allowing "1-3,7-9". =item * Not accepting ranges at all? =back Consult your man pages carefully. Good general advice: keep your crontab lines simple, and that'll minimize the chances of disagreement between what you indend, what crontab2english understands (with or without C<-p>), and what your cron daemon understands. =head1 SEE ALSO C<man 1 crontab> C<man 5 crontab> C<man 8 cron> =head1 BUG REPORTS If this program explains a crontab line wrong, or can't parse it, then email me the line, and an explanation of how it you think it should parse. =head1 DISCLAIMER C<crontab2english> is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but B<without any warranty>; without even the implied warranty of B<merchantability> or B<fitness for a particular purpose>. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2001 Sean M.

Features for feigning ignorance of non-POSIX features: C<-p>, C<-e>, and the evironment variables C<POSIXLY_CORRECT> and/or C<POSIX_ME_HARDER>. =item v0.63: 2001-07-17 Fixed a bug spotted by Greg Wimpey, where leading whitespace wasn't getting duly ignored. =item v0.62: 2001-07-14 Added special cases for when minutes field is 0. Added explicit "require" statement to ensure acceptable Perl version. Changed "Every Tuesday of May" to "Every Tuesday in May" Changed qr//'s to just plain strings, for all the 500404 dinosaurs. =item v0.61 2001-01-23 First public release. =back =cut use strict; use integer; use constant 'DEBUG' => 0; my $filter = ''; # ...which is false. # Lame switch processing: my $posix; # whether to be just POSIX while(@ARGV and $ARGV[0] =~ m<^->s) { if($ARGV[0] eq '--') { # end of switches. shift @ARGV; last; } elsif($ARGV[0] eq '-f') { # filter mode shift @ARGV; $filter = '#> '; # ...which is true! } elsif($ARGV[0] eq '-p') { # disable extensions shift @ARGV; $posix = 1; } elsif($ARGV[0] eq '-e') { # enable extensions shift @ARGV; $posix = 0; } elsif($ARGV[0] eq '-v') { print "crontab2english v$VERSION sburke\@cpan.org\n"; exit; } else { die "Usage: crontab2english [-f] [files]\n" .
