Using system-config-samba, I have melted your python project to a
ready-for-pam with some minor build environment (Makefiles) thing.
Feel free to use/not use for future development.
It would be nice to have CVS for this project.
Btw. I can use some major GUI redesign actually. It's still WAY to hard
for the average user to set a scheduled task using the GUI.
Maybe some presets should be made:
* Create a scheduled task that starts every day at [ ]h
* Create a scheduled task that starts every [sunday [+]] at[ ]h
And perhaps a tab with "Advanced" for the less standard records.
And a treeview (only columns) with something like:
+-------------+-------------------+-------------------------+
| Frequency | Command | send output/results to |
+-------------+-------------------+-------------------------+
|Every sunday | /opt/backup.pl | mail of root |
| at 2:00 | | |
+-------------+-------------------+-------------------------+
| Every day | /opt/wakemeup.pl | /dev/null |
| at 9:00 | | |
+-------------+-------------------+-------------------------+
KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid)
And in the advanced view you can do the
* * * * * command > /dev/null
It would be cool if the application could parse such lines to
less-hard-to-understand messages. The not-easy-to-translate lines could
then go to the "Advanced"-tab and in the "Normal users"-tab it should
show information about records being only in the "Advanced"-tab.
But maybe other people have another opinion of course ..
However, nice job ..
