Feature Request: Support Cronjob-like Scheduling for Updates

[Ceddicedced]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your fantastic work on autoviaupdater. It has been incredibly helpful!

Feature Request:

Currently, the updater allows setting update intervals in minutes. It would be a great enhancement to support scheduling updates using a cronjob-like format. This feature would provide more flexibility, enabling users to specify updates at exact times or on specific days.

Benefits:

• Flexibility: Schedule updates during off-peak hours or at specific times.
• Precision: Target updates to run on particular days of the week or month.
• Familiarity: Many users are accustomed to cron syntax, making it an intuitive option.

Example Usage:

Allow users to specify a cron expression, such as:

• 0 2 * * * – Every day at 2 AM
• */15 * * * * – Every 15 minutes
• 0 0 * * 0 – Every Sunday at midnight

Possible Implementation:

• Integrate a cron parsing library to interpret the expressions.
• Add validation to handle incorrect syntax.
• Update the documentation with examples and guidelines.

Conclusion:

Implementing cronjob-like scheduling would make autoviaupdater even more versatile and user-friendly. Thank you for considering this feature!
