This is my code:

var hello = function() {
  console.log("WORLD");
}

var cron = new Meteor.Cron({
  events: {
    "0 * * * *": hello()
  }
});

In my browser console it prints "WORLD" just once then I get an error of Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

It would be great if the documentation would reflect that typical crontab entries with comma seperated values, ranges or -notation do not work with this implementation.

For example */15 4-16 * * 6,7 is valid crontab syntax. (Every 15 minutes between 4 AM and 4 PM on saturdays and sundays.) It doesn't work with the implementation though.

No updates in two years. I had listed this package at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11703010/background-tasks-in-meteor/21351966#21351966 but it might be better to remove it if it's no longer maintained.

Hello,

Can this handle dates - Schedule function to run at a specific date in the future

var world = function () {
console.log('World!');
}
var cron = new Meteor.Cron( {
events:{
"* * * * *" : world
}
});

I was having a hard time creating a new Cron object following this example code:

var world= function (){
      console.log('World!');
    }
    var myBirthDay= function (){
      console.log('my Birth Day!');
    }
    var crone = new Meteor.Cron{
      events:{
        "* * * * *": "world",
        "0 0 18 6 *":"myBirthDay"
      }
    }

Meteor.Cron{...} was giving me an error, so I tried wrapping everything in parenthesis. Also, I was getting TypeError: Property 'func' of object #<Object> is not a function in each of the events. I had to not pass strings, but the functions themselves. The resulting code is:

var world= function (){
      console.log('World!');
    }
    var myBirthDay= function (){
      console.log('my Birth Day!');
    }
    var crone = new Meteor.Cron({
      events:{
        "* * * * *": world,
        "0 0 18 6 *": myBirthDay
      }
    });

Am I correct, or am I missing something? Great package, thanks!

Is it possible to pass args to a function and replace '* * * * *' with those arguments? I'm trying

`var day = '';
var month = '';
var hour = '';
var min = '';
//these values will ultimately be something else obviously

function doJob(day, month, hour, min) {
var time = '' + min + ' ' + hour + ' ' + day + ' ' + month + ' *';
var cron = new Meteor.Cron({
events:{
time : test
}
});
return cron;
}`

but this doesn't work unfortunately. No errors, just no response from the cronjob i.e. it doesn't do anything.
