Schedule::Oncall 0.8.3

Schedule::Oncall module contains methods for managing an on-call schedule.

Schedule::Oncall provides methods to manipulate an on-call schedule. One or more tables of schedules can be maintained, loaded, and searched. An on-call table is composed of seven days, where each day has a list of minute ranges which correspond to a particular person.

Information such as email address, pager number, etc. may be stored in the schedule configuration file. Simple variable assignments may also be made. Other textual information may be stored in the schedule in order to assist other applications (e.g., html headers or email body text), and variables substitution may occur within the text blocks.

Schedule files may be chosen based on weekly or monthly rotations, relative to the first week or month of the year. Weekly schedules begin on a Monday and end on a Sunday, the same as strftime(3)s %W" format. Each rotation is stored in a separate file, and the appropriate rotation is chosen at load time.
