Description: Process Scheduling Daemon
cronie is a daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times and
optionally mails generated output to the user. It is a fork of the original
ISC cron and contains many improvements, such as:
* inotify support (Linux only)
* clustering support
* full PAM support
.
cronie is fully compatible with ISC cron (Debian's standard job scheduler),
and can be used as a drop-in replacement for it.
