Improve cron(8) and atrun(8)<= /h2>

Currently, cron(8) and atrun(8) are outdated in their implement= ation. Here are some directions for improvement:

  • Update cron(8) to ISC cron with security fix= es from OpenBSD.
  • Integrate the a= trun(8) functionality into cron(8), as it was done in NetBSD.

Requirements
    Strong knowledge of the C language and Unix API.<= /font>
