Super simple to use - no remembering the order of numbers.
Only one job runs at a time (so you don't need to pick times that don't overlap)
Of course, it doesn't handle every case.
I don't know if all Linux's have it.
- eterps 3y agoToo bad this isn't directly supported in ~/.config/ it would make it very easy in combination with GNU stow or another dotfiles manager.
- Denvercoder9 3y ago> Only one job runs at a time At least on Debian, this is not true. If your hourly cronjobs take longer than an hour, it'll happily start a second instance of them in parallel.
