Bug #88157 for Schedule-Cron: Adding the ability to delete a CronTab entry automatically specifying a repeatcounter

Schedule-Cron Wishlist 1.01 nofork - mode Perl v5.16.2 Certain Cron entries are only supposed to be executed only one time or a limited amount of times. It would be possible to add these entries with the appropriate timer record but over time the Cron tab could be very crowded. Therefore it is useful to delete the Cron entries that are executed already the number of times that they are supposed to run. It could be done by another reoccurring task that would clean up these tasks. However that is difficult as each task would have to mark somewhere how often it was run already either in any related variable or in an attribute of the task itself. Modifying the own attributes is not easy as the task would need to figure out it's own index (which I did not find how to get from within the task) sub dispatcher { print "ID: ",shift,"\n"; } - only prints the first argument - not the index. Another option would be for the task to remove itself from the Cron entries but again the task would need its own index from the Cron tab and any attribute where the number of executions is specified. An easier solution would be to add a named parameter e.g. 'repeatcounter' => 5 in the $cron->add_entry that is decremented with every job run and when 0 is reached the job is automatically removed from the Cron Tab. Hope that a feature like this could be integrated into the great program. Regards Juergen
