Have they heard of crontab -e? It checks that your cronjobs have valid syntax. There are a crazy number of edge cases related to time. Dealing with time sucks, let the smart people who battled tested and built cron deal with it.
- yuliyp 8y agoWhat does that have to do with the problems that they dealt with? (randomly failing jobs, resource management, monitoring, etc)
- dfc 8y agoI think the comment is in reference to the second problem listed, "editing the plaintext file is difficult."
- _kevinspencer 8y agoWell, to be fair none of those things you list are due to a failure of cron itself either.
