 This issue was automatically migrated from github issue
 https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/issues/320.

 It should be possible for an ooni-probe operator to specify when a given
 test or test deck should be run.

 This should be achieved by having a configuration file that features cron-
 like syntax editable by the operator.

 The probe software will then run as a system daemon and running the tests
 when they are scheduled to run.

 If a certain test scheduled to run does not run at that time because the
 machine is offline it should be re-run as soon as the machine is turned on
 again (similar to the anacron behaviour).
