We are pleased to announce a new stable GNU mcron release: Version 1.0.4. GNU mcron is a replacement for Vixie cron written in guile and taking guile job specifications (as well as Vixie-formatted ones) for increased flexibility. It can be installed either on top of, or alongside of, an existing cron installation. Separate instances can be run by users without needing any root privileges or root-sticky files, thus there is no compromise on system security.
The project page of the program is available at: http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/ What's New ========== * License update to GPLv3 * Files named on the command line don't need a .vixie or .guile extension (such files were previously silently ignored) * The arguments to the --schedule option are no longer optional. Getting the Software ==================== GNU mcron may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron. Here are the GZIP compressed sources (4.8MB): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron/mcron-1.0.4.tar.gz Here is the OpenPGP detached signature: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcron/mcron-1.0.4.tar.gz.sig In order to check that the version of GnuTLS which you are going to install is an original and unmodified one, you should verify the OpenPGP signature. You can use the command gpg --verify mcron-1.0.4.tar.gz.sig This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by the signing key with DSA ID 31182342. Documentation ============= The manual is available online at: http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/manual Community ========= If you need help to use mcron, or want to help others, you are invited to join our help-mcron mailing list, see: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-mcron.
