Hmm, nice if it is just one system, your own laptop. You will get a nice 
warning that the next time, probably sometime this week, it will run fschk.
Unfortunately pretty useless if you are handling multiple systems and are not 
the only one managing them and reboots take weeks / months apart . :-(

Nope, I still want the option to cancel a running fschk and have it performed 
again at the next boot.
That one I can then schedule, for instance for the following night using 
shutdown and the time option. Might even throw in the -F option. ;-)
