-- Natools.Cron is a low-overhead, low-precision implementation of periodic --
-- callbacks, similar to UNIX cron daemon.                                  --
-- Note that callbacks are executed sequentially in a single thread, and    --
-- ticks may be skipped when computing resources lack.                      --
-- If you need more precision and/or more reliability, you might want to    --
-- consider using Ada.Real_Time.Timing_Events instead.                      --
