3.3.3 The task-scheduler
The task-scheduler is used to start programs or scripts when certain events occur. The
scripts can be shell-scripts or PHP3-scripts, and can start the buffering of images or
upload files by using FTP or SMTP.
The task.list is the configuration file for utask which is a task-scheduler similar to
cron or at. The task.list features event-detection, based on date and time, a simple
socket for external events, and the ability to start any task and process management to
avoid runaway childs processes.
At start-up, utask reads the file /etc/task.list and parses it for event entries. If the file
/etc/task.list does not exist when utask is started, then utask goes into a stand-by
mode. When /etc/task.list has been created, or modified, a SIGUSR1 need to be sent
