Hello all,

I was wondering if the following 2 features could be added to newcron.py

1) Support sourcing application paths in crontab folder:

Example:

@reboot root *applications/eden/cron/sms_handler_api.py

Use case:

Since we are developing out application ( Sahana-eden used to be called
SahanaPy) to be redistributed and installed with different application
names, i.e eden above could be replaced with say, wfp. It would be nice
if some syntax like the following could be used:

@reboot root *currentapp/cron/sms_handler_api.py


2) Support for adding an extra attribute to limit a cron entry to work
with a particular type of cron.

Example:

@reboot extcron root *currentapp/cron/sms_handler_api.py


Use case:

Say I have a threaded application inside the sms_handler_api.py -> it
would fail to work with softcron or hardcron. I would simply like the
cron service to ignore the entry if it is not invoked via extcron.


I would be grateful if the features are added into the trunk.

Thanks,
Praneeth
