- ElliotH 16y agoOoh - hadn't seen that - looks interesting. I stand corrected.
- pyre 16y agoHopefully they do a better job than Apple. I had a number of issues with their init/cron replacement.
- masomenos 16y agoso true! Every time i'm forced to deal with launchd for scheduling, I wish I was using cron.
- naner 16y agoThis is what I am looking forward to. Cron, atd, and init all have functionality that should be integrated and udev aware. And this functionality should be easily available to all applications. If I want to send a specific email at noon, or backup my laptop drive every night at 3am only when on my home network, etc., I should be able to without using 5 different daemons or programs kept running in the background and hacked-together scripts.
