I don't understand how that will help. What about distributions with no systemd? What about the fact that it's the tool that writes and updates the cron jobs (with the period and arguments). As the packager, I have no clue about the profiles the users will have. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."
