Neither I do ;-) looks like he need a different tool instead of trying to redesign an almost 40+yo tool that serves it's purpose just fine.
Oh the irony! oh the irony! The first CRON I used was on a tape marked "Love, Dennis". CRON got redesigned in BSD4.x and in SYSV. The CRON Linux runs is not even the ATnT CRON code, and can run non-root 'crontabs'. (THAT was a great improvement!) It also didn't report by mail! Its code-base is derived from the version of CRON written by Paul Vixie. I've seen all those code-bases, and in the time since I first used V6 I've seen it change and yes it has been redesigned - a number of times. Its like they say about that good ol' axe, had to replace the shaft a few times and the head once or twice, but its done service!.
