Could you possibly explain how cronie is used for cluster execution? Because I cannot find any documentation on it, nor do I see any evidence of it in the source code. (To the contrary, the README specifically says cronie is *not* redundant.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
