Supposed I scheduled a job with rufus-scheduler like below:
scheduler.cron '* * * * * UTC' do |job|
...
end
I can retrieve some useful info from 'job' variable. For example, next_time shows when the next run is scheduled at. I am wondering if a similar value is available for "current_time". Reason: for various reasons (threads, system load, etc) a job could be executed with a small amount of delay. I want to know the exact time the job is meant to have started. If I retrieve system time by Time.new, that will not be exact.
Is there a way? I tried awesome_print the job variable. It seems the value I am looking for is not available.
