I've implemented mcron on two hosts that needed to have custom cron jobs replicated. I didn't need any of the power of mcron, just didn't want to mess around with moving cron's files back and forth. I personally like mcron where it is, as a port. If I need basic scheduling, the base system's cron is fine. If i need something more powerful, I research it, install and configure it. -- Regards, Doug
