Ahem, meaning "manipulate crontab entries in a vfs" and not "store files in cron".

  Yeah, I considered changing the title to "File interface to cron" or something similar, but that also seemed to leave some of the reality out. It's just another element of the "everything is a file" philosophy of Plan 9, which I find very interesting and pragmatic, and wish were more common in the directions Linux is evolving in, with stuff like systemd, firewalld, systemd timers, etc.

    How about "exposing cron as a filesystem"?
    • SwellJoe 12y ago
      Sounds like a Fox News title, where they expose cron to secretly be a filesystem. They'll call it "crongate".
