Re: [help-gnubatch] How to specify date to run on command line

[Wechsler, Steven]

Is there a way to do this with days of the week rather than dates? For example:

Monday,15:42

The reason I ask is that I'm setting up a system so that jobs can be created 
with config files, but the date in the config file would be inaccurate if it's 
run a week after it's been created.

I could of course add a function to calculate the date of the next Monday, but 
it would be easier if this is already done.

Indeed, it seems nowhere to be specified in detail:

$ gbch-r -T "2012/05/17,15:42" ./test.sh $ gbch-jlist -T
12067 reuti test.sh   sh 150 1000 17/05/2012 15:42 

If you only need date exor time, you can leave the other out.
