Crontab Component

Crontab provide a php 5.3 lib to create crontab file.

use Yzalis\Components\Crontab\Crontab;
use Yzalis\Components\Crontab\Job;

$job = new Job();
$job
	->setMinute('*/5')
	->setHour('*')
	->setDayOfMonth('*')
	->setMonth('1,6')
	->setDayOfWeek('*')
	->setCommand('myAmazingCommandToRunPeriodically')
;

$crontab = new Crontab();
$crontab->setMailto('[email protected]');
$crontab->addJob($job);

$crontab->write();

You can render what you have created:

echo $crontab->render();

You can also parse existing crontab file

use Yzalis\Components\Crontab\Crontab;
use Yzalis\Components\Crontab\Job;

$crontab = new Crontab();
$jobs = $crontab->parseFile($filename);

And then you can delete a job you don't want anymore:

$crontab->removeJob($theJobYouWantToDelete);

Resources

You can run the unit tests with the following command. You need to be in the crontab directory and have phpunit installed on your computer:
