Removing cron dependency

[daiyam]

Hi,

Currently, the extension is using the Cron Tasks extension to automate some actions.

I'm thinking to remove that dependency since not all users use cron (me) and the alternative can be easily achieved.

• install the zokugun.cron-tasks extension
• update the settings from

"syncSettings.crons": {
    "review": "0 * * * *",      // every hour
    "download": "0 9 * * *",    // at 9AM, every day
    "upload": "0 17 * * *"      // at 5PM, every day
}

to

"cronTasks.tasks": [
    {
        "at": "0 * * * *",		// every hour
        "run": "syncSettings.review",
    },
	{
        "at": "0 9 * * *",		// at 9AM, every day
        "run": "syncSettings.download",
    },
	{
        "at": "0 17 * * *",	// at 5PM, every day
        "run": "syncSettings.upload",
    },
],

What do you think?

I think it's a good idea. No sense in having a required dependency that isn't absolutely necessary. Especially when the current functionality could be achieved with minimal effort.

If it helps as a data point, I don't intend to use the cron feature either. If anything, I'm wondering whether I could integrate SyncSettings alongside Chezmoi, which I'm using to manage all my other dotfiles
