Develop a Python script that allows users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for cron jobs on a Linux system. This script will provide an intuitive interface to manage scheduled tasks.
Features:
Add New Cron Job:
Implement functionality to add a new cron job with a specified schedule and command.
List Existing Cron Jobs:
Allow users to view a list of currently scheduled cron jobs.
Edit Existing Cron Job:
Provide the ability to modify the schedule or command of an existing cron job.
Remove Cron Job:
Enable users to delete a specific cron job based on its ID or schedule.
Example Usage:
# Example usage of the cron job management script
import cron_manager
# Add a new cron job
cron_manager.add_job("* * * * *", "/path/to/script.py")
# List existing cron jobs
cron_manager.list_jobs()
# Edit an existing cron job
cron_manager.edit_job(1, new_schedule="0 0 * * *", new_command="/path/to/updated_script.py")
# Remove a specific cron job
cron_manager.remove_job(2)
Familiarity with Linux and cron job scheduling is recommended for contributors interested in this task.
Consider using libraries like python-crontab for interacting with the crontab in Python./ Or you can just use the subprocess/edit config file through read/write i/o operations.
