GNU mcron is a 100% Vixie cron replacement written in Guile. Crontabs may be written in scheme (as well as the traditional Vixie format), giving an infinite amount of extra flexibility over the original design. For example, jobs can be specified to run on the penultimate day of the month, or could be scheduled dynamically according to the load on the system.
There are no new features or even bug fixes in this release, it simply reflects the fact that it is now fully homed at gnu.org; now that some semblance of sanity is seeping back into the world ;-) mcron can be found in the web-holes WWW: http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron Manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/manual Ftp: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron Development: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/mcron Announcements mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User community list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug reports to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now that things are in place, some feedback would be real welcome; since 1.0.0 was released to the world on 12th December, 2003 (or thereabouts) I haven't heard a titter about it, from which I can conclude that either - it is already perfection personified (read `gnuified') or - nobody is using it.
