zhen: process and cron manager
Updated at: 2023-12-05
Context
Old friends know that joker is an ultra-minimalist process management tool. It is not CS architecture, no dependencies, and no need to run a background process in advance. Meanwhile, jinbe can easily manage startup commands.
Recently, I have written some jb scripts that require scheduled tasks to run. Coupled with feedback on joker and jinbe from the group, I am planning to replace jinbe. Thus, zhen was born, a name inspired by Xian Zhen. It possesses the functions of both joker and jinbe, along with optimizations for some special scenarios. However, currently it still partially relies on the existence of the joker command. The system requires an IPv6 stack.

Install
if you have no joker
nami install joker

nami install zhen

zhen '0 0 * * *' jb /path/to/script.js
For the same scheduled task, if it is about to run and the previous run has not yet finished, then cancel this run and wait for the next cycle.
Env
As you know, usually when the system just boots up, some environment variables do not exist, such as HOME, and the PATH variable is also relatively concise, and your command may depend on these environment variables, then you can use zhen to set.
For example, set HOME
zhen env HOME /root
For example, set PATH to current PATH
zhen env PATH $PATH
Show all env
zhen env
Network
As you know, usually when the system just boots up, the network may not be ready yet, don't worry, zhen will run all your commands after the network is ready.
