DESCRIPTION

The scheduler utility is used to provide timing and synchronisation to the sampling processes: climate_sampler, gases_sampler, particulates_sampler, and status_sampler.

When started (typically as a background process) the scheduler utility launches one sub-process for each of the items in the schedule configuration. On the given interval for each item, the sub-process releases a Posix semaphore to the sampler, then regains it. The name of the semaphore is the name of the tag. By convention, the following names are used:

scs-climate
scs-gases
scs-particulates
scs-status

The schedule configuration is specified using the scs_mfr/schedule utility.
