New option -s datetime to specify a starting time for the pre-reserve. New option -e datetime to specify a ending time for the pre-reserve. The idea is that you can schedule a pre-reserve to begin sometime later, and you can optionally specify a time for a prereserve to terminate. There is a new script that runs from cron that checks for pre-reserves that need to be started or terminated. For example: boss> wap prereserve -s '2012-09-14 09:08:15' -e '2012-09-15' emulab-ops 50 You can use any datetime string that is valid for str2time. At some point it would be nice to allow natural language dates ("tomorrow") but that requires a another bunch of perl packages and I didn't want to bother. NOTE: when using -e, -r is implied; in other words, when the pre-reserve is terminated, the table entry is cleared *and* the reserved_pid of all of the nodes is cleared. Any experiments using those nodes is left alone, although if the user does a swapmod, they could easily lose the nodes if another pre-reserve is set up that promises those nodes to another project.
