Task scheduler for Lazarus

[CynicRus]

Hello everyone.
Today I want to share with the community a fast and simple task scheduler. It supports both recurring and one-time tasks. It works on Windows, Linux, and it should work on macOS (though I haven't tested it yet). As documentation, I suggest looking at the example code.
The code is released under the BSD license.

Source code available here: https://github.com/CynicRus/laz_task_scheduler

* Mac Mini M1
* macOS 14.6.1
* Lazarus 3.99
* FPC 3.3.1

I've just tried this on macOS 14.6.1 and the build fails on a couple of lines, presumably something to do with the {$IFDEF}s. I notice that you've catered for DARWIN in other parts of the code, so presumably this was one that escaped your efforts 😉

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. job_scheduler.pas(530,5) Error: Identifier not found "clock_gettime"
2. job_scheduler.pas(530,19) Error: Identifier not found "CLOCK_REALTIME"
3.

Thank you for you time and the report! Fixed for MacOS now!

Ah, thanks. I responded to the hint about unused unit in MacOS:) Fixed.
