The persistent daemon is used because there's no better way to ensure that adjkerntz is run on reboot. (See another discussion about SYSV run control vs BSD run control.) The periodic runs from cron are because it's easier to schedule such things using cron. The man page is clear enough about what running adjkerntz does and why you might want to run it at boot time and at 03:01. Bruce
