fcron (sysutils/fcron) Add to my watchlist
fcron is an alternative scheduler aka cron daemonfcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it implements most of its functionalities. But contrary to Vixie Cron, fcron does not need your system to be up 7 days a week, 24 hours a day : it also works well with systems which are not running neither all the time nor regularly (contrary to anacrontab).
