The code behind goCron

This is the code behind.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/robfig/cron"
  "os"
  "time"
)

func crontsk() {
  c := cron.New()
  c.AddFunc("@every 5s", addstamp)
  c.AddFunc("@every 60s", cleardoc)
  c.Start()
  time.Sleep(time.Duration(1<<63 - 1)) // running for more than 260 years
}

func addstamp() {
  t := time.Now()
  t.String()
  crondoc(t.Format("2006-01-02T15-04-05.000Z"))
}

func crondoc(msg string) {
  file, err := os.OpenFile("log.txt", os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
  }
  
  file.WriteString(msg + "\n")
  defer file.Close()
}

func cleardoc() {
  if err := os.Truncate("log.txt", 0); err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Failed to truncate: %v", err)
  }
}

The Go web server uses this code to update the page:

timestamp, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("log.txt")
tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, page, string(timestamp))
