Re: [Nix-dev] Announcing Hail — A service for pull-based continuous deployment from Hydra

We are using the system cron! Our activation script just updates a file
in crontab.d (and ensures some services some of our cron jobs needs are
running).

Looks good! :)

I've built something very similar in Nix using aszlig existing work for
Hydra custom channels:

Hi Shea,

It's cool that you're reusing the activation script interface for non-nixos

What are the advantages for having hail run the cron task instead of using
the system cron? Is it to make it more cross-OS compatible?

Cheers,
z
