(copied from mknx/smarthome#61)
I started to refactor the
scheduler._range()
function a little bit and implemented support forx/y
andx-y
as requested in issue #59. The function was changed to resolve thecrontab
elements from complex to simple elements.The following complex elements are supported now in
crontab
setting:1,2,3,4,8-10
*/2
0-8
Since the resolving is implemented in a recusive way, it's also possible to combine all of them. E.g. you can use
1,2,3,4,8-10
or1-4,5-23/2
or something similar. The first one will include the hours between 1-4 and 8-10, the second one will include the hours between 1-4 and each even hour between 5 and 23.
