Description-en: systemd units to provide cron daemon & anacron functionality
Provides systemd units to run cron jobs in /etc/cron.hourly cron.daily
cron.weekly and cron.monthly directories, without having cron
or anacron installed.
It also provides a generator that dynamicaly translate /etc/crontab,
/etc/cron.d/* and user cronjobs in systemd units.
Please notice this package provide a different set of features
than Vixie-cron; trying to remain as simple as possible.
By example, to avoid to run process through a wrapper,
but have instead systemd run those directly,
it only send mails on error, including only a small blurb
from the Journal; but doesn't send the full output of processes.
