> Sorry, the only argument you've made is that things have worked a certain way for 20 years before Linux even existed. Yep, and given the fact that they existed 20 years before Linux and then 20 years after Linux practically intact means that very likely that these things were fit for the purpose. I'm not saying that they cannot be improved. Cron deficiencies are well-known and once you hit them they are PITA.
