What does mcron offer? My main complaints about cron are: 1. Difficult to do refined timing, like execute on the first tuesday of each month. I tend to use remind for this, by David Skoll. 2. It leaves synchronization up to the app, so it will happily start multiple instances of a job that's taking too long. To work around #2, I find something like daemontools or runit a nicer way to solve the problem. Does mcron solve any of these issues? Mike -- Michael P.
