Well I *could* disable run-crons altogether and add entries to fcron’s own
crontab which would run those scripts in /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,...}
instead.
However, I like predictable times at which those jobs will run. Especially
if one of them is a zfs scrub; the NAS is powered down for weeks, sometimes
months. And when I power it up, it’s for a reason. And that reason usually
is not a scrub, which—at the current zfs fill level—takes 10½ hours.
