I actually like the fact that tigerrc defines which tests 'tiger' (the program) run whileas cronrc configures configures which tests 'tigercron' will run. Duplicating that (i.e. a module needs to be added into cronrc and disabled in tigerrc) might lead to confusion and to modules not being executed even if the admin thinks they will. Actually, it also hinders somebody from directly executing the script (for testing or debugging) directly because he has to modify tigerrc so that it is executed. Summary: I don't quite like the idea (for the above reasons). And it's quite easy to just disable a script by removing the entry in cronrc as it is by modifying tigerrc. Regards Javi
