rufus-scheduler

This gem was formerly known as ‘openwferu-scheduler’. It has been repackaged as ‘rufus-scheduler’. Old ‘require’ paths have been kept for backward compatibility (no need to update your code).

The new license is MIT (not much of a change, the previous license was BSD).

    Rufus.parse_time_string "1000"       # => 1.0
    Rufus.parse_time_string "1h"         # => 3600.0
    Rufus.parse_time_string "1h10s"      # => 3610.0
    Rufus.parse_time_string "1w2d"       # => 777600.0

    Rufus.to_time_string 60                   # => '1m'
    Rufus.to_time_string 3661                 # => '1h1m1s'
