virtual time_t NextRunTime ( time_t from ) [pure virtual]

NextRunTime returns next run time or zero if never.

Parameters:

from	reflects current time. Test cases may manipulate the value of from to test algorithms.

If return time is less than from, then scheduler will run the job ASAP.

If return time is more than from, then scheduler will run the job in the future calculated as (return_value - from).

virtual int ScheduleType ( ) [pure virtual]

Returns unique number to identify each schedule type without enabling C++ RTTI.
