FWIW: I've gone through the archives and found multiple threads about our cron discussions. http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-September/ http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2010-January (esp. http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2010-January/014781.html) Seems like the last time we were on the verge of switching to fcron, but didn't because Jim took over dcron upstream (and added his "yacron" features.) The only negative thing i could find in the archives about fcron is that it doesn't support /etc/cron.d natively (but we can write scripts to work around that). Although Heiko seemed to suggest this is no longer true anymore. (?) Other then that, it seems a solid featureful-but-simple-enough cron daemon. Dieter
