Feature changed by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #309015, revision 4 Title: Cronie as default cron openSUSE-11.3: Candidate Priority Requester: Important + Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Michal Seben (mseben) Description: Currently there is no chance to push our ~20 patches to upstream (it's already dead), so my suggestion is : switch to cronie. See prepared simple wiki page about this step. See http://en.opensuse.org/Cron_replace Documentation Impact: * we will have anacron and audit support * we will use /usr/sbin/crond instead of /usr/sbin/cron - this change should not be problem (causes only small init script correction) * see syscrondir.diff we will move to 600 permissions rule, for each crontab file (/var/spool/cron/tabs/username) * old 'crontab' command called without args prints message with usage options and do nothing, new crontab from cronie waits for input on stdin (waits to enter your new crontab rule) + Discussion: + #1: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2010-02-16 11:20:39) + Sounds OK, just propose to add the /usr/sbin/cron compat symlink. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309015
