	1. PHP Cron Parser		cron

Supplied by: Nikol S <e-mail contact>

Parse cron tab files to retrieve job schedules

This class can be used to parse cron tab files to retrieve job schedules.

The idea is to provide an alternative solution for scheduling tasks when it is not to use the cron program usually available and Unix/Linux systems.

It accept the standard crontab format, including comma separated and range values.

It can calculate the next time a scheduled job is supposed to be run based on the given cron definitions.

	2. Virtual Cron		cron

Supplied by: Giorgos <e-mail contact>

Check whether it is time to run a periodical task

This class can be used to check whether it is time to run a task that must run from time to time.

It creates a control file to keep track the last time the task was scheduled.

The class can check the control file last modification time to determined whether it passed a given period of time since the last time the task was run.

If the given interval time has passed since the last run, the class recreates the control file and returns true to inform the application that is time to run the task again.

	4. PHP Cron		cron

Supplied by: Mick Sear <e-mail contact>

Parse cron schedules to find when cron job ran

This class can parse cron tab schedules. It does not parse cron tab files themselves, but instead, can determine when a cron job should have last run, given the schedule in cron tab format (like 0 5 * * 1-4)

It can determine when a cron job should have last run, which can be used in conjunction with database logging to determine if a backup cron server should run a job or to create a complete PHP alternative to cron (maybe distributed across several servers). Updated with some example code and documentation explaining how it might be implemented.

	5. PHP Cron Daemon		cron

Supplied by: Tim de Koning <e-mail contact>

Database driven PHP job scheduler like cron

This package can be used to schedule the execution of task like the cron program.

First it starts a daemon process using Luca Mariano's PHP fork class to make the cron daemon script run like a standalone program.

It can parse a crontab file with Mick Sear's cron parser class and extract the job scheduling definitions into a MySQL database table.

When it is time to run a scheduled job, it executes the job command in the crontab definition as PHP code as a separate process.

The output of the job PHP code is also stored in a database table.
