I notice that we have Vixie's cron daemon in base.


would probably need a relicensing (because dcron is GPL).

If people still want vixie's cron, it's in pkgsrc-wip anyway.

Why don't we have Matt's own cron system there instead of vixie's? dcron is simple, small, effective and secure. It supports multiuser crons as well. It

with the same line of argumentation i could say let's keep vcron and if people want dcron, it's in pkgsrc-wip anyway (and if it isn't there, it should be easy to put it there). unless of course it administers the same or has other important features we don't want to miss. so what's the real gain with dcron?
