Re: /usr/opt instead of /opt?

If you're familiar with the Fedora proposed move from /bin and /sbin to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, you see that one of the ways that they're ensuring legacy compatibility is, after moving everything under /usr, then symlinking /bin to /usr/bin and /sbin to /usr/sbin.

Re: Moving away from cron jobs to some workflow manager

Hi Rabin, Did you consider using Jenkins? It may be a little heavyweight, but it should be relatively easy to set up and configure. You can use the same scripts you're using today, the ability to state which jobs run on which nodes, set up dependencies between them, set timeouts, set cron triggers
