Replace PalmTree with `cron` clone?
piranna opened this issue · comments
I have seen that ndm is unmaintained since several months ago, and I have found there are some other simpler alternatives as node-autostart that simple use cron @reboot functionality (didn't know of that until now), so would it makes sense to replace PalmTree on the demo nodeos user with a cron clone like https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron so we could have the extra functionality of being able to exec some commands at intervals? Obviously, since this is for the demo usersfs partition anyone is open to use whatever they wants on their system...
Doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. How would we go about this?

Not sure... I was talking about using standard tools and formats, but cron it's mostly focused on having a central system, while in NodeOS each user has it's own one, so it doesn't matter too much what they are using. Not sure if we should start forgetting a bit about the usersfs demo filesystem and give the users instead tools to generate their own ones, removing usersfs from the stardard builds...
